My Story
I am San Antonio born, but Houston raised. My first love is food… I worked in the test kitchens of Southern Living magazine, developed recipes for over two decades for brands and clients, did food photography professionally, and authored a gluten-free food blog and cookbook. As an army family, we moved to San Antonio in 2019 and dove right into SACS with our three kids. In 2021, the Lord threw me a curveball and brought me here to teach. This school has been an unbelievable blessing to our family, educating and pouring into my kids, and to me individually, getting to contribute to the heart of the school, the hearts of these students, and the Kingdom of Jesus.
What church do you attend?
Wayside Chapel in San Antonio
What do you love most about teaching, coaching, or working at SACS?
I love having the privilege of meeting and teaching these amazing students. They are each unique, smart, funny people, and I am blessed to know them and be with them during their last year at SACS. What an honor for Jesus to use me in their lives any way He sees fit. I so appreciate the hearts of my fellow teachers, how they seek the Lord, they pray for their students, and they truly want to be the hands and feet of Christ in their classroom while they strive for excellence in their content area.
Favorite Bible verse
Romans 15:13 - ”Now may God, the fountain of hope, fill you to overflowing with uncontainable joy and perfect peace as you trust in Him. And may the power of the Holy Spirit continually surround your life with His abundance until you radiate with hope.”
What are your hobbies and interests?
