I was born and raised in Crockett, TX. I attended Crockett ISD for the majority of my early education. After graduation I attended SFA where I received my BSN. I worked some in Nacogdoches before marrying and returning to Houston County. I joined Latexo ISD in 2019 as the school nurse. I have four sons who all attend Latexo Elementary. My husband is a local Nurse Practitioner in Crockett. When we aren’t working you will most likely find us at a local sporting event cheering on our boys and often assisting with coaching a team. We are members of Calvary Baptist where my father is the Pastor, and I teach Sunday School.
