I hold my Bachelors of Science in Psychology from Sam Houston State University. I completed an ACP three years later and became certified in early childhood through 6th grades. I taught first grade for a year before staying home with my children. A decade later, I became certified as a 7-12 English teacher and taught English 3 & 4 at my local high school for three years.

I am looking forward to connecting with my students and assisting them on their academic journey and helping them grow in their faith.
Advice
Mistakes, and failure, are proof that you are trying. Don’t allow yourself to become discouraged with setbacks. Get up. Dust yourself off. Reflect on where you can improve, and begin anew. Greatness is achieved through grit, determination, and faith. Never give up, never lose faith.
About Me
Born and raised in Texas, I live in a small, rural town with my husband and two daughters. I have two crazy dogs who love to scare delivery drivers away and a half dozen chickens who think they are vicious dinosaurs.
Favorite Verse
Hebrews 11:1 – After the birth of my first daughter, I was diagnosed with a chronic illness that drastically changed my life. I never cried out asking, “Why me,” because God has blessed me with an amazing support system in my family. If anything, my faith in the Lord continues to grow stronger. Hebrews 11:1 became my personal mantra in my darkest days of illness. I held strong to my faith knowing that I suffered for a reason unknown to me and that I would experience good health again when it met God’s timing. My steadfast faith has granted me so many gifts in life, including experiencing remission for the last five years and returning to the classroom where I am called to serve.
First Job
I worked at a boutique toy store in high school. I spent hours playing with the toys!
Hobbies
I am an avid reader and I love to Bible journal.
Bucket List Item
I want to take a trip to Scotland, Ireland, and Wales.
