BS, Sociology/Psychology/Education

As a child, I attended St. Mary’s Catholic School from 1st through 8th grade.  I am a 1994 graduate of SMCS and a 1998 graduate of West High School.  After high school, I attended McLennan Community College for a year before transferring to Texas A&M University. Whoop!  I graduated from Texas A&M with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Sociology with a Minor in Psychology.  

I worked in the social services field for 5 years before going back to school to earn my Texas teacher’s certification in Special Education as well as General Education – PreK-6th grade.  I taught Resource & Special Ed Inclusion at Connally ISD for 5 years in grades 4-8.  After my time at Connally, I moved to Gholson ISD where I taught 3rd grade for 3 years.  Although I loved my time at Gholson and all of my students, this past summer the opportunity presented itself for me to come “back home” to SMCS.  I can honestly say, it has been the best move I could’ve ever made!

My husband Chris and I have been married for 15 years.  We have three daughters.  Sadie, 14, attended SMCS from PreK – 8th grade and now attends Reicher Catholic High School as a freshman.  Hannah, 10, is currently in the 5th grade at SMCS and Hallie, 6, is in Kindergarten at SMCS.
