I am a native of West, Texas and I am thankful for the sacrifice my parents made to provide 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 26 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 Texas State University and is pursuing her Bachelor of Exercise and Sports Science, to eventually study Physical Therapy. Natalie, our youngest, is a sophomore at MCC.  After completing her basics she plans to apply to different dental hygiene programs.
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
