I started out as a Firefighter/EMT in Midland, TX for a little over 9 years before going into the teaching field where I taught 8th grade science my first year of teaching at Goddard Jr. High.

I received both my Bachelors (Exercise and Sports Science) and Masters (Geology) degrees from The University of Texas of the Permian Basin. I have 3 amazing children Audrey, Brayden, and Brooklyn, and 1 extra special grandson who will be 3 this year. I'm excited to join the Plains ISD family! #plainsproud
