My passion for education began in the classroom as a kindergarten teacher, fourth grade teacher and instructional coach. I continued my career in RISD as an assistant principal, and then as a principal. I has been a joy to bring my skills as an educational leader to MST, and to learn from the experts within our building as we work to ensure the success of our students.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>Not only do I desire to support a community of lifelong learners, I also want to model that passion for learning. I am a proud graduate of UT Dallas, where I studied Early Childhood Education. I received my Masters in Educational Leadership from Dallas Baptist University, and I completed my Doctorate in Educational Leadership from Dallas Baptist University in 2020.<\/p><p>When not at school, I spend lots of time with my family. My husband Matthew and I have 2 children who keep us active. Our oldest son, Jadon, is a sophomore at Berkner High School and Conner is a seventh Richardson West Junior High.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
