My Family

I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas and married, Jason, my highschool sweetheart 32 years ago. We have 3 boys. Our oldest son went ahead of us to heaven 2 years ago unexpectedly at the age of 22. Our middle son, Elijah is now 22 and has Down Syndrome. He loves to attend LCA sporting events and works at Home Depot. Our youngest son, Jonah is 19 years old and graduated from LCA last year in 2022. He currently is attending the University of Alabama. Roll Tide! I originally worked as a substitute in 2016 at LCA and then went on to work full-time in the Library and LLC before being hired as the South Campus Nurse. We have 2 dogs; Slider is a Bichon and Maverick (inherited from our oldest son) is an Australian Shepherd/Lab mix.

What do you love most about teaching, coaching, or working at LCA?

The thing I love most about working at LCA is working alongside other believers, students and families with a godly mindset. I absolutely love being the Mama of the school while using my skills and empathy to care for the students and staff at LCA.

What are you passionate about? What brings you joy?

I am passionate about being a wife, mama and nurse. Doing what you believe you were created to do brings ultimate joy to my life.
