WMS Counselor
Trojan Ambassador Sponsor

I am our middle school counselor. I have taught 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades. I've been a middle school assistant principal and an elementary school prinicipal. I have been in education for a looooonggg time.

I live way out in the country outside of Whitney on a ranch. I love roaming about my property, checking cows. I also love gardening and sitting on my front porch reading and/or watching the sunset. One of my favorite things to do is watch my 3 granddaughters play in their sports.

I love to travel. I'm going to Greece in June!! What do you think should be on my list of places there to visit?!!

My hope for all of the students at West Middle School is that they discover their unique strengths, tackle their problems with confidence, and feel supported every step of the way as they grow into the wonderful, kind, thoughtful individuals that God means for them to be. Make an impact on the world!!
