I was born and raised in San Antonio. I attended Judson ISD schools and graduated from Judson High School in 1992. I then attended Texas Lutheran in Seguin. I graduated from Texas Lutheran with a B.A. in Spanish in 1996. My husband, Kevin, and I met at Texas Lutheran and we got married after graduation. I didn't go straight into teaching as God wanted me to. I ran from teaching for about 20 years. But at 40, I got my teaching certificate and began teaching at Bellville High School in Bellville, TX. I taught there for almost 5 years. Then my husband took a new call to Bethany Lutheran Church in Fredericksburg. So we moved to Fredericksburg and I discovered Tivy was looking for a Spanish teacher and so here I am. This is my 4th year here at Tivy. My husband and I have three children: Kiera 17, Kaylee, 16, and Kevin Jr. 14. I am still working on learning the Tivy way.
