As a retired athletic director, coach and teacher I am excited to have a new career in Real Estate. I have taught and coached at San Antonio- Edison, Southwest Texas State University (now Texas State University) and Austin-Westlake. In 1992 I was hired as the Athletic Director at Del Valle ISD. I was one of only 5 women at that time that were Athletic Directors for both the men's and women's programs. My experiences in working with parents, students, administrators, school boards and the community has given me an exceptional insight into working with people of all backgrounds. As a team player and with my competitive nature, I will get the job done according to your needs . Give me the opportunity to serve you.
In 2004, I was awarded the Texas Athletic Director of the Year by the National Council of Secondary School Athletic Directors. I have also received the ATLANTA Award as a role-model for Women in Athletic Administration. No award is as satisfying as working with student-athletes and touching all students lives. The most important award of my career was to be called coach.
