Welcome to Vineyard Ranch! 

I grew up in California and relocated here from Colorado with my parents in 1996. I received my Bachelor's Degree from Southwest "Texas" State in 2000. I obtained my Master's Degree from UTSA in Educational Leadership in 2005. This will be my 20^th year in education. I taught 2nd grade for 10 years, Kindergarten for 2 years, and this will be my 8^th year teaching 1^st grade! I love being a part of Vineyard Ranch! 

In addition to being a teacher, I am also a mom and wife. I have a stepson, Patric. He is 19 years old and works at HEB, while attending community college. My wonderful husband is Michael. We have an 15-year-old daughter, Isabella. "Bella" is in 10^th grade. We have a 9 year old, Olivia, she will be in 4th grade. Our youngest daughter, is Carly, she is 6 years old and is in 1st grade. Our children have three sets of grandparents and we are very blessed to have such an extended family.

I stay busy taking care of four kids and spending time with my family. However, I enjoy some "me" time too. I like to go to church, shop, decorate my home, hang out with friends, Pinterest, eat out, get manicures & pedicures, and travel to new places. This summer, my family and I went on a road trip out west. We spent most of our time in California. I also took a "girls trip" to Colorado to visit with one of my best friends. 

I do not know what this school year will look like but I am confident I will do my best to be there for you and your child. I know together we can make this a great year!
