The 2022-2023 school year will begin my 14th year at Sunnyvale I.S.D. and marks my 21st year in education. This year is also my 2nd year as the Assistant Principal at SMS.

I am a 2001 graduate of Texas A&M University-Commerce with a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology and Health Education, and I graduated in August 2018 with my Master of Education in Educational Administration and Leadership through Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas.

I have been married for 15 years to my husband, Reagan, and we have one son named Jake (14). Jake will be an 8th grader at Sunnyvale Middle School this year. During my first four years at SMS, I coached 8th grade girls, but since Jake started school at SISD, I stepped down from coaching to have more time with my family. I am still very passionate about coaching and will always be a coach at heart!!!

Before becoming a Sunnyvale Raider in 2009, I spent 7 years teaching and coaching at Lone Oak I.S.D. Throughout those 7 years, my teaching duties included elementary and middle school P.E., a character building class, middle school and high school health and 7th grade science. I was the varsity volleyball coach, assistant varsity girls' basketball coach and assistant varsity girls' track and field coach.

I look forward to another great year at Sunnyvale Middle School! GO RAIDERS!
