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 5th year here at Tivy.  My husband and I have three children: Kiera 18, Kaylee, 17, and Kevin Jr. 15.
