My mission is to support young people in becoming successful productive adults.  Along that journey I have worked in juvenile detention for 14 years and education for 15 years.  While in Texas, I have worked for Dallas and Humble ISDs and while in Plano, at Shepton High School and Frankford Middle School.  Other than a passion for helping students, I enjoy spending time with my family, working out and being a part of a great team.
