I am excited about joining the Vines Viking team as the Special Education Team Lead for the campus.  I earned a Bachelor's Degree of Science from George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. I began my teaching career in 1997  as a teacher and a coach. I spent 10 years in the classroom and then attended Texas Woman's University in Denton, Texas, for my Master's Degree in Educational Leadership.  I moved into administration for 15 years. I have a special spot for students that meet eligibility for specially designed instruction. My current role will allow me to teach, support and foster relationships with teachers, students and parents through this process.
