My parents are small business owners, who valued education and supported me in earning my bachelor's degree.
I am a first-generation college graduate.
I've been married to fellow educator and multi-sport coach Jud Stephens since 2006.
We moved to Texas from Michigan in 2007 but take every chance we can get to visit our home state and families there.
I completed my bachelor's degree in Michigan at Grand Valley State University, with a major in English, a minor in health, and a certification in secondary education.
My first full-time teaching job was at a middle school in Yuma, Arizona.
I began working at one of the largest school districts in Texas in the fall of 2007, where my first role was as an English III teacher.
I later transitioned to teaching English to emerging bilingual students.
During my last two years in the classroom, I was involved in a pilot program for at-risk freshman and sophomore students, where I both taught face-to-face and managed an online learning management program.
I completed my master's in educational administration from Sam Houston State University in 2011

I love high school sports and working with athletes
In my free time, I enjoy road trips, trying new recipes, and artistic endeavors, and including a new watercolor hobby.
I support my public library with my voracious audiobook habit, through which I primarily listen to fiction, memoirs, and literary non-fiction.
I love television dramas but have been known to watch the occasional outdoor adventure show, where I get my fill of camping by watching others.
