She serves as a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) Registered Nurse at BSW Hillcrest, where she has spent all 11 years of her nursing career caring for the tiniest patients. Inspired by her mother, who served as a labor & delivery nurse for over 40 years, she found her calling in the NICU as a student and instantly knew it was home. Her passion lies in supporting and encouraging new moms and dads, helping them feel loved during their NICU journey.
A proud graduate of McLennan Community College and the University of Texas at Tyler, she brings both expertise and compassion to everything she does.
New to Robinson ISD this year, she has quickly fallen in love with the close-knit community and is excited to give back by supporting the incredible educators and students in the district.
Outside of work, she enjoys reading and spending time with her husband Kyle—also a nurse—and their two children, Carolina and Warren, who attend Robinson Primary. She’s also thrilled to serve on the board alongside her sister-in-law, Jill!
We are so grateful for her heart for service and commitment to our Robinson community! ✨
