A little about me: I grew up in Irving, Texas. I attended Nimitz High School, where I played volleyball, basketball and softball. In softball, I was a member of the Dallas Morning News and Fort Worth Star Telegram All Area teams in 1997 and 1998. I was a member of the Texas Girls coaches Association All-State Team in 1998. After graduation from high school, I attended Navarro Junior College from 1998-2000. At Navarro, I was a member of the first softball team at the college. In only the second year of softball, our softball team went to the NJCAA College World Series where we placed ninth. I still hold the record for RBI's with 58 in a season at Navarro. I was a member of the All-Region Team in 1999 and 2000. In 2000, I was named as All-American. I graduated from Navarro with an Associates Degree.

After attending Navarro, I went on to the University of Texas. I attended UT from 2000-2002. In 2002, our softball team set the school record for most wins in season and most home wins. I am in the record book in UT softball history. I was named All Big XII, and All Region. I graduated from UT with a degree in Kinesiology. After College, I became a teacher. I started my teaching career at a small school. I taught 7th grade science and coached volleyball, basketball and softball. After two years I moved up to a 5A school where I only taught and coached softball. I then moved back to Irving and have been here ever since. At Nimitz I teach Biology. As an alumni of Nimitz I take great pride in teaching our students. I am no stranger to hard work. I am currently working on my doctorate degree in eudcation and will be finished with it in 2014. I have a eight year old daughter named Rylee and a three year old daughter named Reagan. Rylee started third grade this year at Thomas Haley Elementary and Reagan started Pre-School at CDC. Both of my children are my pride and joys.
