I am so very excited about starting my 11th year in Sunnyvale! I have been in education a total of 22 years. I graduated from Texas Tech University with my Bachelors in Human Development and Family Studies and received my Master of Education in Counseling from Texas A&M Commerce. Being a school counselor and working with students is truly what I feel I am meant to do and where my heart is!  

I have been married to my husband, Eric, for 20 years and we have 3 children. We feel truly blessed to be part of the Sunnyvale Community! 

I am looking forward to a great year! Go Raiders!!
