Personal Life

I am a very active mom with 2 of my own children and 4 step children, all ranging in ages from 5 to 14.  Each one is involved in some type of extracurricular or sporting activity.  I love working with children.  I have been teaching at Grand Oaks for 1 year now and would love to go back to my roots and continue as a coach here in Tomball.
