I am a native of West, Texas and I am so thankful for the sacrifice of my parents who provided the opportunity for me to attend and graduate from St. Mary’s School.  My mother, my six siblings, my husband, and my three children are also graduates of St. Mary’s.

After high school, I moved to Denton, Texas to attend the University of North Texas where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Education in 1990. I moved to Euless, Texas to teach fourth grade in Grapevine-Colleyville ISD where I remained for seven years.  After marrying in 1994, I went back to school and earned my Master of Education degree from the University of North Texas in 1996. In 1998, our first child was born, we moved back to West, and my career changed to “stay-at-home mom” for the next ten years.  Our youngest entered pre-kindergarten at St. Mary’s in 2007. I was then offered a job to teach religion in 2008.

My husband, Mark, and I have been married for 24 years, and together we have three daughters.  Our oldest, Claire, is studying finance at Texas State University. Our middle daughter, Katie, is attending McLennan Community College and is pursuing the health-science field, seeking a degree in Physical Therapy.  Natalie, our youngest, is a junior at Reicher Catholic High School.

God has certainly given me much more than I deserve.  I will strive to use these gifts for HIS greater glory!

“To whom much has been given, much will be required.”

Luke 12:48
