I am mom to two wonderful, special needs children: Preston (homeschooled, but dual-enrolled in both public and private cooperative education programs) and Victoria (in a public preschool program for children with disabilities). I am also mentor and counselor for my husband, Michael, who is currently working on finishing his bachelor´s degree after being out of the educational system for many years. Education, therefore, is an important topic in our home; and we have a great deal of interest in the reform initiatives that may/will impact our futures.

I work part time as a private educational consultant and educator, providing college planning and preparation services for students, families and public service organizations; and full-time as an administrator for financial aid at a small, catholic university. I am an active participant in the Texas Association of Financial Aid Administrators, the National Association of Financial Aid Administrators, and the National Association for Self-Esteem. In my many roles, I have garnered more than 15 years experience in higher education administration, student services and workforce development; and take an active role in lending a voice to educational reform.
