After receiving my Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance from Lamar University, I returned to college and completed post baccalaureate requirements for my Elementary Education teaching certification, with an English specialization.  I later received my Masters Degree in Education Administration, also from Lamar University and concurrently completed requirements for my Principal Certification.

I began my teaching career in Lake Dallas ISD in 1990, and taught 6th grade English Language Arts for 11 years before moving to various roles including district testing coordinator, social studies coordinator and personnel director.  I currently serve as the Executive Director of Human Resources.  In addition, I serve as the Executive Director of the Lake Cities Education Foundation, a non-profit organization that supports the students and teachers of Lake Dallas ISD.

My husband Ronnie and I are the proud parents of Tori, a 13 year graduate of LDISD, who is currently pursing a degree from UNT with an emphasis in special education.
