I am thrilled to begin my first year at Cedar Creek High School and am honored to become an Eagle! With 18 years of experience in education, I am excited to bring my passion for learning, leadership, and student success to the Bastrop community. 

I am a proud graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, where I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics, and I later received my Master's degree in Educational Leadership from Lamar University. As a lifelong Longhorn fan, I enjoy cheering on Texas athletics and embracing the traditions that make being a Longhorn so special.

When I am not at school, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, creating lasting memories, and enjoying the moments that matter most. I believe education is about building relationships, inspiring growth, and helping students discover their own potential.

I am excited for this new chapter at Cedar Creek High School and look forward to becoming part of the Eagle family. I am ready to spread my wings, soar to new heights, and make this a memorable year filled with opportunities, growth, and Eagle pride!
