I am very excited to enter another year with the LEE High School family! My hometown roots are in Lampasas, Texas, a small rural community north of Austin, and west of Fort Hood. With my mom working in special education, and my father being a teacher/former athletic coordinator, education and sports have served as a fundamental cornerstone in my life. In 2008, I graduated high school and began my Bachelor of Science degree in athletic training at the University of Texas in Austin. Serving as an athletic training student for the Longhorn soccer, football, softball, and volleyball teams, my passion for sports medicine cultivated and thrived. I opted to continue my education and attended the University of Kansas for graduate school as well as work with the Jayhawk track and field and cross country teams. While I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the Midwest, I could not wait to get back to the Lone Star State. In 2016/2017, I worked as an assistant athletic trainer at St. Edward's University for their men and women's basketball and tennis teams, and now I am proud to be a Volunteer! 

When I am not out supporting the Vols, I enjoy spending time with my family, my husband, Joseph, and daughter, Austin Marie. We have three rescue pups, Breeze, Cooper, and Libby who also keep us on our toes. We love swimming, exploring local parks and trails, and lazy days binge watching Netflix. Moreover, attending concerts, listening to live music, and watching the Longhorns fill up the rest of my free time!
