I was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas.  I have a younger sister and an older brother.  I attended Thousand Oaks Elementary, Bradley Middle School, and Mac Arthur High School. I played soccer, took Tae Kwon Do, and played bass clarinet in band.  I have always enjoyed playing, dancing, and listening to music.
    After high school, I went to Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos. It will always be SWT to me. I  performed in the marching band, wind ensemble, and winterguard.  I started out as a music education major, but decided to change to elementary education.  I graduated with a bachelors degree in elementary education with a specialization in early childhood.
    While at SWT I met my husband, Charles.  We got married on December 16, 1995.  I graduated in December of 1997 and moved up I-35 to Georgetown where Charles was already a band director. In the fall of '98 I was hired at Carver Elementary to be a Kindergarten teacher. I loved working with young children and enjoyed it very much.
    On January 12, 1999 during my first year teaching I gave birth to our first son, Noah Christian. On August 23, 2002 we were blessed with our second son, Brandon Jakob. Both boys play soccer and keep us very busy.
    After six years of teaching Kindergarten I decided to make a change. Currently this is my third year as the technology facilitator at Ford Elementary. Even though it's been a big change from Kindergarten, I love being able to work with all of the different age groups.  I also like getting to work with all the teachers at Ford. And I am a computer geek at heart which makes this job more exciting than it already is.
    With the little spare time that I have, I help teach the high school winterguard. The winterguard competes on weekends until April, when they will attend the Texas Colorguard Circuit State Championship. 
    With Charles being the Fine Arts Director and me doing what I do, we are always on the go.  But we wouldn't have it any other way!
