After growing up in Corpus Christi, Texas, I came to Houston in 1969 as a freshman at the University of Houston. I received my Bachelor of Business Administration and worked as an accountant before becoming an educator. 

My husband, Saul, and I moved to Friendswood in 1978 with our daughter Andrea because of the excellent school district and the small town atmosphere.

In 1984, after completing a Master of Science in Elementary Education, I joined the faculty at Westwood Elementary in Friendswood. There, I taught fourth grade for nine years and fifth grade for three years. In addition to my teaching duties, I served as a grade-level team leader and a member of numerous committees. I also participated in the development of the fourth grade scope and sequence and a curriculum guide in mathematics. I have presented in-services in writing, mathematics, language arts, and TAAS strategies both at the campus and district levels.

In 1996, I completed a second Master of Science in Educational Administration and became the Assistant Principal at Bales Intermediate, where I received invaluable administrative experience. In 1998, I was named principal of Windsong Intermediate.

I am strongly committed to Friendswood ISD and the community of Friendswood. As Windsong's principal, I regard my responsibility to quality education for our students as a privilege and an opportunity.
