Hi! I am the head softball coach, and I teach POB (Principles of Business). I graduated from Oklahoma State University, where I played softball and earned my bachelor's degree in Business Education. I have been teaching and coaching since 2010, and I am certified in Business.

I started at New Caney High School in the Fall of 2017. I enjoy all sports and spending time at the beach on the weekends.

I have been at New Caney since 2021. I am an assistant softball and cross country coach.
