TROY

My dream had always been to attend Texas A&M University and major in Education.  However, I had a few well-respected educators talk me out of it my junior year.  I changed gears and decided to explore my next dream and major in Journalism/Advertising.  Since A&M was not known at the time for that field of study, I attended Temple Jr. College (now Temple College) for one year and then transferred to Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos (Now Texas State). 

Although they had an excellent program,  I knew my true calling was to be an educator.  I told my professor the day before I graduated that I wished I had stayed with my initial plan.  He told me it was too late now!  (It's never too late to follow your destiny!)

I was an Assistant Principal in Austin for 4 years - east and west sides - and a Coordinator of Student Services/Counselor/AP in Salado for 2 years.  I was then promoted to Principal of Salado Intermediate School (grades 3-6) and held that position for 5 years. When my daughter decided she wanted to attend Troy ISD, I went to work for Communities In Schools (CIS) in Killeen. 

When the Principal position for TES was posted, I knew it was exactly where I was meant to be.
