PEIMS Specialist

I grew up in McGregor, TX, and attended all levels of McGregor ISD until I graduated in 2002 from McGregor High School. I am a proud mother of 2 children whom I love spending time with and making great memories. 

My Why: Before working in education, I worked in the banking industry for 13 years. I am in my second year as a front office clerk at Dean Highland Elementary. I am actively working on my career goal of being a teacher one day with my very own classroom in order to make a difference in the lives of children. I learned a lot last year and am looking forward to learning more this year. I enjoy seeing happy little faces and working with amazing teachers, custodial staff, front office staff, and everyone else. Knowing that we are all here to reach a common goal makes my heart happy, and I cannot wait to see what my future holds.
