I grew up in a really small town called Winters, Texas. It’s in West TX and its population is only about 2,000 people and I graduated with 39 people in my grade. So it’s a very, very small town.
I am the youngest of three children and I loved growing up there. I think one of the greatest lessons that I learned from childhood was that everyone comes from their own walk of life and has their own past and that affects how they act and who they are.
My parents were very big on trying to understand someone else’s side to something and trying to put yourself in the other person’s shoes and I think that is something that I try to carry on to adulthood.
I went to college at Texas A&M and I was involved in a sorority there, Pi Beta Phi. Going to school at Texas A&M was tons of fun- I met my friends for life there and it is also where I met my now husband.
