Personal Information

I am a proud boy mom to two sons. My oldest, Justin, is graduating from college this year, and my youngest, Ryan, is graduating from high school in May! They both played competitive baseball throughout their school years. We love to travel and visit new places. I am a passionate reader and love to learn new things!

 

Platform Statement

I believe in working every day to be better today than I was yesterday. In education, we must constantly think about, read, research, and look for ways to make what we do even better. The world has changed, and our students depend on us even more than before! The role of an administrator is demanding and ever-changing. Principals wear many hats and must meet the needs of so many daily. My passion for kids and education has grown during my 27 years in education.

This is not about one class, one school, or one district. It is about all of our kids in Texas! I feel I can help continue the excellent work that TEPSA does to help make positive change and celebrate the greatness occurring in our schools every day. TEPSA guides administrators to continue making an impact through collaboration and continuous learning. We want students to be the best they can be and then continue to grow and make progress! I am committed to advocating for Texas schools and want others to see the greatness that occurs each day. My passion for TEPSA contributes to meaningful change and growth for students across the state! I would be honored to serve as your TEPSA state officer and appreciate your support so we can continue to inspire and assist others in reaching their goals. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of students.

We love to dress up with the kids, this was our Trunk or Treat Event.

We implemented the House system this year!

You have to have a successful team! This was our District’s Annual Holiday Parade.

This student makes my day each time I see him!

I am the proud mom of Justin and Ryan, and a dogmom!
