I taught for a total of 22 years: Head Toddler Teacher for 2 years at the Southwest Texas State University Child Development Center, Kindergarten teacher for 2 years at Jones Elementary in Brackettville, 5th grade teacher for 1 year and 3rd grade teacher for 17 years at Dilley Elementary School. I was also the Assistant Principal at the elementary for 5 years. 

Dilley is my hometown and I graduated in 1981. My husband is Sean Carroll who is the manager of R & R Implements. I have 4 sons (Mitch, Cody, Dillon, and Brian-my stepson). I am actively involved at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church as an adult catechism teacher, lector, hospitality minister, and am the current Saint Vincent de Paul Society president.

I believe that all children can learn if given the appropriate environment. It is our task as educators to find out how our students learn best. We must set our students up for success.
