Bio

 I am a graduate of Alvord High School and it is great to be back! I am in my thirty-third year in education. This is my eighth year in
administration. My bachelors degree is from Texas State and my masters degree from Lamar University.

I have been married for 28 years. We have three children and two wonderful daughter-in-laws. My boys played football at the University of Missouri Science and Technology. One graduated with a Civil Engineering degree and the other dual degrees in Business and Education. My daughter runs cross country and track at Kansas Wesleyan University. She plans to attend physician’s assistant school for her masters and specialize in pediatrics. My oldest, here in Alvord, blessed us with our first two grandchildren. We also have a bonus adult child that is building a house here in Alvord. In my free time I enjoy traveling, family time, and sporting events. I am a lifetime learner, highly motivated, and love working with staff and  students.
