I grew up about a mile away from CCA! I earned a Bachelor of Science in Education from North Texas University. I have worked in HEB ISD as a classroom teacher and, later, as a Math Interventionist. I joined the CCA Faculty in 2016. I am married to my junior high sweetheart and am the parent of two CCA graduates, classes of 2017 and 2019. Both kids started here in preschool!
When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? I always wanted to become a Veterinarian and started my education at Texas A&M. A summer internship at a local vet clinic taught me that my tear ducts couldn't handle that line of work! Shortly after, I started volunteering in the Ft Worth ISD and found my love of being in a classroom!
Why do you choose to work at CCA? Being in the community for so long, I knew it was a special place!
What is one fun fact about you? As a high school junior, I interviewed the legendary Tom Landry on the telephone! I had written to his foundation asking some questions for a project I was working on, and he picked up the phone and called me!
What is your favorite book of all time? Arnie the Doughnut, a tale for all ages. :)
What is one thing that can instantly make your day better? A cool breeze, nice porch, and a good cup of coffee!
What do you like to do for fun? Anything outside (when it's not 10000 degrees)...walking, biking, hiking, gardening, etc...
