My Story
My husband and I have been married since 1995, and we have three wonderful daughters. God called me to teaching from the age of three and looking back on almost 30 years in this industry, I can see God’s hand as He walked me through the doors of a variety of educational organizations thereby deepening my experience, enhancing my learning, and honing my craft. My life for His will – this is what it’s all about.
What church do you attend?
NorthRock Church in San Antonio
What do you love most about teaching, coaching, or working at SACS?
SACS offers a comprehensive curriculum, a well-rounded sports program and has gorgeous facilities, but as I walk the campus every day it is the unquantifiable moments that capture my heart: eye contact, warm smiles and genuine care. What a privilege it is to feel this every day and to have these moments as a reminder that we can reflect Jesus at every turn, in every interaction and in every moment.
Favorite Bible verse
Psalm 118:24 -“This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
What are your hobbies and interests?
Leisurely conversations, late-night talks with my daughters, beach vacations, reading, and music put a sparkle in my eye and a skip in my step.
