BS Interdisciplinary Studies, MEd Education Curriculum and Instruction 
Texas A&M University

I was born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas with my brother and 2 sisters. We attended Catholic school from kindergarten through 12th grade. I received my BS in Interdisciplinary Studies with an emphasis in Math in 1992 and an MEd in Education Curriculum and Instruction in 1994 from Texas A&M University.

I taught kindergarten at Holy Trinity Catholic School in Bedford, TX from 1994 to 1997 and 4th grade from 2000-2001. I was actually introduced to my husband, John David, by one of my kindergarteners and his family. We have been married for nearly 23 years and have been blessed with four children, Johnathan (17), Will (16), Caitie (12), and Caroline (10). I stayed at home with our children for 15 years and returned to teach at St. Malachy school, our home parish, in 2016.

For me, it is so important for our children and our students to learn to share their faith, live their faith, and defend their faith. Educationally, I believe every child deserves the opportunity to grow, to become confident learners, and I will work with them individually to help them find success.
