While I did not attend St. Mary’s Catholic School as a child, I was very involved in the church's activities growing up.  I was baptized and confirmed here at St. Mary’s as well as an alter server and member of the J.C.D.A. during my childhood. 

I am a West High School graduate of 2007.  In 2008, I became a teacher’s aid in the infant room at the St. Mary’s Child Development Center.  I thoroughly enjoyed working with the infants as a part time job while getting my college education.  In May 2013, I received my Bachelors of Science in Family and Consumer Sciences from Tarleton State University.  God’s plan for me must have been to continue my job here at St. Mary’s.  In June 2013, I was offered the director position of the Child Development Center and After School Care program.  I will honestly say there could not have been a better job opportunity!  I love working with children and watching them grow from infancy to grade school.  Seeing those first smiles, first steps, first words, and first days of Pre-K at the “big” school will never get old.  It truly is a blessing to be a big part of their lives.

My husband John and I have been blessed with 2 beautiful girls.  Our oldest is a student at SMCS and our youngest is currently at the CDC.  We are thankful to have a place where our children can grow and learn in the Catholic faith.  

God grant me the SERENITY to accept the things I cannot change, COURAGE to change the things that I can, and the WISDOM to know the difference.
