My pursuit of the teaching profession was encouraged by a strong family tradition. I had great educational role models in my life, as both my mom and dad were lifelong educators. I am also a product of North East Independent School District; I was proud to be an Ed White Eagle as well as a Roosevelt Rough Rider. It was during this time that my love for basketball and volleyball developed into my career ambition: Coaching!! I graduated from Texas A&M University; WHOOP!! and earned a Master's in Educational Administration from A&M Kingsville.  I have over 25 years of coaching/teaching experience at both the high school and middle school levels. I have been at Bush since its' inaugural year and look forward to many more successful seasons!!
