Head of School

I was born the oldest daughter in a family of four children. My mother and father were wonderful parents, both of whom love Jesus and demonstrated that on a daily basis. In all that we did and everywhere we went, we were always taught to live our faith and be doers of the word, not just hearers only. My parents lived this out as my father has been a deacon in his local church for over 30 years and my mother, the pastor’s secretary.

I graduated from High School in a small town in Texas and went on to play basketball in college.  I graduated from Texas A&M and married my husband, Brandon.   In January 2014, we will have been married for 20 years.  We have four awesome and incredibly handsome boys, Travis,  Ryan,  Jared, and David.  We are avid Aggie fans and love anything that requires bats, gloves, helmets or goals!  Brandon and I will forever be in bleachers until the boys move on to college!

God called me to Legacy through my desire to spend more time with my oldest son who, at the time, was in PreK.  After a visit to the local public school to see their Kindergarten classes, I knew I did not want to pursue that route.  My next step was to investigate private schooling which I found to be a stretch financially for one, and out of the question for four children.  As I began to explore other options, I was introduced to NAUMS (National Association of University Model Schools).  After speaking with their director, I was sold on the model.  I began talking with parents and drumming up support, never believing that I would someday be running a school.  But, nearly ten years later, here I am.  I count serving as Legacy’s Head Administrator one of the most treasured privileges I’ve ever had.  My Legacy community is really just an extension of my own family, and I am blessed to have so many people praying for and supporting me and my children.

One of the great things about Legacy, and the reason God gave me the vision to begin this school, was so that my children would know what they believe and why they believe it.  Like their grandparents had taught me, our faith was to be lived out loud so that others would come to know Christ.  I am so thankful for the additional  time I have been given  with my children because of the UMS model.  Our motto is, “Here am I!  Send me!”  Isaiah 6:8.  I want my children to be the hands and feet of Jesus as they stand firm in their faith and unashamedly proclaim the good news.  I can’t wait to see how God’s plan unfolds for them and what adventures he has in store for their future.
