My Story
I was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas. I’ve been married to my husband Richard for 35 years. Together, we’ve raised three sons. All of our boys attended Sacs where they thrived academically and spiritually and are proud alumni. It’s been amazing to see the legacy continue, as my grandchildren are now attending SACS. Watching the next generation embrace the values and experiences that shaped my sons has been incredibly rewarding. In addition to being a proud parent and grandparent, I’ve been fortunate enough to work at SACS for over 25 years. It’s been a true blessing to be part of an institution that has meant so much to our family for decades.
What church do you attend?

What do you love most about teaching, coaching, or working at SACS?
What I love about working at Sacs is the environment. I’m surrounded by amazing Christian coworkers who genuinely care. There’s always someone ready to stop and pray for you. Every day, I’m greeted by hugs and smiles from the children, and their joy is contagious. It’s a constant reminder that they truly are a blessing. I can’t imagine a more fulfilling place to work, I’m so grateful to be a part of this school.
Favorite Bible verse
Philippians 4:13 – “I can do all things through Christ who Gives me Strength.”
