I am a native of West, Texas and I am so very 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.” The next ten years were spent with our three
daughters. 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 25 years, and together we have
three daughters. Our oldest, Claire, is studying Computer Information Systems
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 senior 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
