I graduated in December of 2000 with a degree in Elementary Education from Southwestern Assemblies of God University in Waxahachie, TX.  I taught 4th grade in Dallas for the remainder of the 2000-2001 school year.  My husband and I moved to Phoenix, AZ, and there I taught 7th and 8th grade at Sierra Verde School.  We moved back to Texas in 2003, and I taught Special Education at Maypearl Intermediate School in Maypearl, TX, from 2003-2007.  After a 2 year break to stay home with my small children, I began working at Red Oak Elementary in the fall of 2009.  I taught Elementary Special Education there until the end of the 2014-2015 school year.  In the fall of 2015, I took a position at Red Oak High School as Transition Specialist.  I served in that position for 2 years.  In the spring of 2017, I earned my Master of Education degree from Stephen F. Austin State University.  In 2017, I began serving Red Oak ISD as an Educational Diagnostician.

 My husband, Lee, and I have been married since 2001. We have two sweet kiddos, Maddie and Nathan.
