I was born in San Antonio, but lived my first thirteen years of my childhood in Colorado Springs, Colorado. We moved here in 1983 and from then on I went to schools in NEISD. I graduated from Robert E. Lee High School. I received my bachelor's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies EC-4, from the University of Texas at San Antonio.
     I love children and am blessed to have a job I absolutely love going to every day. I am excited about starting another school year at Cibolo Green Elementary School. I have taught third grade, second grade, and loved teaching kindergarten for the last seven years. This will be my 22nd year in education. 
     I am married to my high school sweetheart. We have two sons, Traye Jr. and Trevor. Our oldest son, Traye, is married to my beautiful daughter-in-law, Mary, and they have two children. Traye III, my grandson, will be in fifth grade this year, and my granddaughter Penelope will be in frist grade. Our youngest son, Trevor, is a firefighter with SAFD. He married his high school sweetheart Emily and they have one daughter, Hayden, who will be turning three this year. Our grandchildren are a wonderful blessing to our family, and my husband and I enjoy spending as much time as we can with them. We are beyond blessed! 

     I love dogs, the outdoors and DIY projects. I love spending time with my family and I look forward to another fantastic year of teaching and working with children who become part of my family and my heart forever!
