Hello! My husband of 15 years and our 5 kids arrived here in 2018. I wanted to learn more about our new community, so I jumped right into volunteering and community service. I have served in many volunteer positions in the community from SFRG Leader to various positions within the Fort Cavazos Spouses Club. I served recently as the president of Fort Cavazos Spouses Club from 2022 to 2023. Now, I’m I am thrilled to embark on a new journey with the Fort Cavazos Family Scholarship Fund. As Vice President, I plan to work closely with high school counselors, seniors and military spouses to facilitate the pursuit of higher education. I have a passion for continuing education and hope to alleviate some of the financial stress accompanied with college. I hope to ensure all schools in our service areas have access, if military dependents qualify, for a scholarship.
