It is truly a blessing to now call myself a Van Alstyne Panther. I am excited to get to know each student, family and faculty member at Van Alstyne High School. Kids are my passion and my heart lies in helping every child achieve success in all aspects of life. The 2020-2021 school year will mark my 28th year in education. This will be my 24th year as a school counselor. I completed my bachelor’s degree at The University of North Texas and my master’s degree at Southeastern Oklahoma State University. I have

one grown son and 4 fur babies. When I am not at work, you might find me reading a book, walking the pups, or working out in the yard.

 

      The 2020-2021 is starting out very different than other years and I am excited to be a part of Van Alstyne ISD as we navigate through this year. I look forward to meeting everyone and am thankful for the opportunity to work for such an amazing school district.

 

I am so excited to join the VA High School team this school year! I am extremely passionate about high school students and helping them achieve their goals, whether they are academic, social, or emotional. I am coming straight out of the classroom where I was a physics and astronomy teacher for McKinney ISD. I am originally from the Houston area, but have had the opportunity to live and work all over the southern United States. I completed my undergraduate degree at Texas A&M University - College Station and my master's degree at Angelo State University. Outside of school, my passion is for animals and agriculture, and my free time is spent raising and training dogs for service work and Quarter Horses. I look forward to supporting students and parents this year, and I know I will learn as much from y'all as you learn from me.
