I was born in Arlington, Texas, which is where I lived until I was twelve years old. My sister and I had a great childhood...climbing trees, riding bikes, and playing house and school!

I attended Roquemore Elementary in Arlington ISD...grades K-6. My best friend and I were in the same 5th grade class. We were very excited to be in Mrs. Graham's class!

My family moved to Mansfield when I was in 7th grade. I graduated from Mansfield High School when Mansfield had one high school, a plain old Wal-Mart, and only a Whataburger and Dairy Queen for fast food! Oh, how times have changed!

I started attending college at what used to be called TCJC (Tarrant County Junior College). I earned an Associate of Arts in 1993. I then transferred to the University of Texas in Arlington. In 1995, I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies.

Today, my husband, Patrick, and I still live in Mansfield. My husband works in Arlington as a Web Developer. We have two daughters...
