Can’t believe it’s been a week since defending! This journey stretched me in every way. 🎓 Ph•inishe•D 🎓 Grateful to my chair & committee, my students, and the women who refuse to shrink. And to myself—for choosing truth, for staying, for rising.

A great morning of collaboration and learning with our @AVID4College Implementation Specialist, Tarrah, and the LISD AVID Campus Coordinators! Excited for AVID’s new Secondary Implementation Tool and supporting schoolwide success for all. #AVID4Possibility #1LISD

At the 75th Annual Leander HS FFA Banquet, I was surprised and honored to be elected as a Honorary FFA Degree Recipient. Just as this eternally recognizes me in the LHS FFA, I will be eternally grateful for all that I've experienced & learned from the students and Ag teachers.

Loved being able to celebrate and donate at the 1,000th blood donation w/ @VRHSAVID! We took over the blood drive in Spring 2017 and helped save lives with @WeAreBlood ever since. Did you know high school donors make up more than 12% of the We Are Blood donor population?
