My Story

I have been married to Brian for 18 years and have 3 stepsons with 4 grandchildren that I adore. I taught, coached, and worked in Athletic Administration in public schools for 41 years and retired before coming to SACS. I have been at SACS for 3 plus years and have loved every minute of it. I know the Lord sent me here to have my faith grow and to fill my soul with his grace.

What church do you attend?

St. Marks Catholic Church in San Antonio

What do you love most about teaching, coaching, or working at SACS?

My first reaction was about all of the students and how courteous, pleasant, and well-mannered they are to each other and adults. It is absolutely refreshing. Teachers and administration are concerned for the welfare of all students as their first priority. I am grateful to have been in an environment that encourages the sharing of faith and opening to living a life that embraces Christ.

Favorite Bible verse

Ephesians 3:20 – “Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.”

What are your hobbies and interests?

I work out, read, garden, and hang out with fun friends. I spend time with my grandchildren and play lots of games.
