What did you do before this job?
I worked for the Texarkana Gazette for five years. Prior to my tenure as a sports writer, I worked in marketing for a moving company in Wichita Falls.
What is something TSPRA colleagues need to know about you?
I genuinely care about each student in my district and I’m willing to do whatever it takes for our students to have the chance to learn on an equal playing field.
What is something TSPRA colleagues would not expect to know about you?
I own a nonprofit organization, Arkansas Elite 100, which helps studentathletes obtain scholarships in their sport of choice, free of charge for families. We’ve been in existence for a little over six years and have placed hundreds of student-athletes across the country at different institutions. We firmly believe that #FreeTuitionIsTheMission.
What is something on your bucket list?
Liberty-Eylau was a Blue-Ribbon School in 2008 and, upon my hiring, one of my biggest goals is to get the school district back to that standing, from a public relations standpoint. We’re a unique district because of our geographical location and student-body makeup. I know it may take some time and hard work, but that’s at the top of my bucket list.
