I grew up in Southern California and went to college at Westmar University in LeMars, IA, where I received my BA in Mathematics with a minor in Physics. I did my teaching credential work through Drake University in Des Moines, IA.  I taught for 5 years at Moorpark High School in Moorpark, CA. I then moved to San Antonio, TX and taught 5 years at Churchill H.S. I had the privilege of opening Claudia Taylor Johnson High School in 2008. In 2018, I decided to take a break from the classroom and stay home with my children.

My husband is the athletic coordinator at Tejeda Middle School. We have six children. Our oldest graduated from Johnson in 2020 and is attending Texas State University. We currently have two sons who attend Johnson High. We enjoy spending time at our family lake house in Minnesota fishing, kayaking, wakeboarding and relaxing. 

I am a proud Johnson parent and excited to be back as a faculty member of CTJ.  Go Jags!!!
