I graduated from Texas Tech University by the grace of God. I have since traveled the world and enjoyed life to the fullest. I miss traveling the world as a flight attendant but so blessed for the opportunity. Growing up as a football coach’s daughter, it is in my blood to coach. I was born and raised in Texas, to like good football not a team. My heart and loyalties reside with a recruitment letter from Denver and a sturdy coffee table.
