I feel blessed to be starting my 6 ^th year as principal of St. Mary’s School.

I was born and raised in Arlington, Texas. I attended The University of Texas at Arlington where I received my undergraduate degree in Business Administration.  I returned to UTA to pursue and receive my Teaching Certification. I later graduated from Texas Women’s University with a Masters of Education degree. I am currently working on my Catechist Certification through the Catholic Diocese of Fort Worth.

I am married to Shane and we have two boys, Gage and Payne. Shane is in the Oil and Gas business and is the love of my life. Gage will be a freshman this year and will be attending Subiaco Academy. Payne will be a 7 ^th grader at St. Mary’s School. I believe there is no greater or harder job than being a parent!

After graduating from college I worked in the business world before returning to school to obtain my teaching certificate. I taught 3 ^rd grade in the Arlington Independent School District before moving to Gainesville. I was then employed by the Callisburg Independent School District. I taught 3 ^rd and 6 ^th grade and was the Elementary School Assistant Principal before joining the St. Mary’s School Staff.

I enjoy spending time with my family. We love to travel, enjoy the lake and all sports. As principal, I strive to work collaboratively with the entire school community to foster a positive school culture for all students.
