As a native of Beeville, I attended A.C. Jones High School through my 10^th grade year when I entered the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science in Denton, TX.  After two years at TAMS, I attended Texas A&M University in College Station, TX where I completed my Bachelors of Science in Psychology in 1995.  I then decided to complete a social studies teaching certification before leaving Texas A&M.

I raise many pets and animals including dogs, cats, horses, goats, and chickens.  I happily live in the country and enjoy living in a small town; I love easy traffic and space between neighbors.  I come from a family of educators and truly enjoy working with teenage students.

My hobbies include raising animals and reading.  In my free time, I catch up on land and animal work at home, try cooking new and diverse dishes, and read.  I hope to start vegetable gardening and put in fruit trees or a bee hive in the next year. I am also trying to travel to new places each year both in and out of the country.
