WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE EXTRACURRICULAR
ACTIVITY?
Now, I love watching soccer and tennis, especially when one
of my boys are playing. I cheered all four years of high school,
so back then my favorites were gymnastics and cheerleading.
I’m delighted to hear cheerleading is being tried out as a
UIL sport this year. And, of course, I will always have a love
for theater.
WHAT IS SOMETHING PEOPLE MAY NOT
KNOW ABOUT YOU?
While I attended UTA, I was a server at J.R. Bentley’s.
IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN TIME AND MEET
ANY PERSON, WHO WOULD IT BE AND WHY?
If I had the power to go back in time, although there are
many fascinating people in history, I would pay a visit to
my mother. She passed away in 2001 and was my very best
friend. She never met Brad or any of her grandkids. I miss
her every day and would love to hug her neck and catch
up with her over a pitcher of sweet tea. I am sure she’d be
thoroughly amused at my attempts at domesticity!
WHAT SCHOOLS DID YOU ATTEND?
I went through the magnet program at Polytechnic High
School in Fort Worth and then received my Bachelor of
Science from what is now Missouri State University in
Springfield. I also studied theater for three semesters at
UTA after getting my degree.
AS A YOUNG CHILD, WHAT DID YOU WANT TO
GROW UP TO BE?
A hairdresser
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE FOOD?
Cheese
WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE SUPERHERO?
Elastigirl from the Incredibles
