Finding Her Calling

After graduating from Tomball High School, she attended Sam Houston State University. Her reason for choosing education was simple: “It is all about working with kids.”

That passion has remained at the heart of her career for more than three decades.

Tomball ISD experience: 26 years
Education experience: 34 years

Previous roles in Tomball ISD:
1st Grade Teacher at Tomball Elementary and Rosehill Elementary • Reading Specialist at Rosehill Elementary • District RTI/Dyslexia Specialist

Over 34 years in education, she has served students in the classroom and in district-level roles, always focused on helping students learn and thrive.

Why Tomball?

After growing up in Tomball, returning to serve in the district felt like coming home.

“I enjoyed growing up in Tomball and I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else. I wanted my children to experience the same love for their school and community that I did.”

That connection to Tomball ISD has continued throughout her career and across generations of her family.

One word to describe Tomball ISD: Exceptional

Beyond the Classroom

When she's not working, she loves being outdoors. Her favorite adventures include reading a book on the beach, snow skiing, kayaking and hiking.

And there's still plenty of adventure on her bucket list: snow skiing in Austria or Switzerland.

If she weren't working in education, she knows she would still want to help kids—perhaps as a social worker.

From growing up in Tomball schools to spending 26 years serving the district she once called home — her journey is a true example of what Student2Staff is all about!
