Since 2013, I have had the honor of serving in the position as the Director for the NEISD Agriscience Magnet Program (AMP) located on the campus of James Madison High School. As the Director, I am responsible for the mission of the AMP which is to develop the potential of students for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through an educational experience in the agriculture, food and natural resource curricula.

I have been a faculty member of the AMP and James Madison High School since 1997. During this time, I have instructed courses in Principles of AFNR, Agriculture Mechanics, Animal Science, Equine Science, Meat Processing, Agribusiness and Professional Communications. I was also fortunate to coach many talented students in Leadership and Career Development Events and guided them to National FFA Championship titles in Agricultural Issues Forum and Food Science & Technology competitions.

I am a proud graduate of Madison High School, ℅ ‘97! I spent 10 years working in Civil Engineering before becoming a Middle School Math and Science teacher in SAISD. I taught technology most of my career and have taught Animation, AV Production, Photography, Graphic Design, Engineering, Architecture, Robotics, Yearbook and Web Design. I joined NEISD in 2016 where I became a teacher at Madison High School! During that time I was awarded NEISD CTE Teacher of the year, Trinity Prize recipient, and the NEEF Grant twice. I became an Assistant Principal in January of 2021 and have enjoyed being a part of this campus as a student, a teacher and now, as an administrator. I have also  been a college professor since 2018 at Northwest Vista where I still get to enjoy teaching Film courses. 

I have 3 amazing kids of my own and have had the privilege of watching one of them walk across the graduation stage as a Maverick! I truly love this community and feel honored to be a continued part of it.

The 2022-2023 school years kicks off my ninth year with NEISD. I have proudly served our NEISD family on the elementary, middle school, and now high school levels. My degrees and certifications include psychology, special education, school counseling, and school administration. My husband and I do our best to keep up with our two amazing daughters and one very spoiled pup. I love spending time with my family, traveling, cooking/baking, reading, sci-fi, and all things Formula One racing. Now for what you really want to know – I am all about what’s best for kids. I lead with my heart in all I do as an educator. I believe in compassionate accountability. We have to hold our kids accountable for the choices they make, but that doesn’t mean we stop leading with love, kindness, and respect along the way. My partnership with you, parents and guardians, is a critical step in ensuring our Madison Mavericks realize their fullest potential. Working together is the only way we help our Mavericks overcome challenges, celebrate successes, and graduate with their heads held high as they prepare to tackle life beyond high school. I am so excited to join the Madison Family and serve and support our Mavericks in countless ways. We are going to have a fantastic year! GO MAVS!
