Barbara has lived in Texas since 1987.  Before making this state her home, she has lived in many different places all over the world; San Francisco, London, Sydney, and Reno- where she attended the University of Nevada. Barbara started her journey with St Paul by first assisting in the nursery on Sunday mornings before becoming the Director of St Paul Christian School in 1997.  The thing that she loves most about working at St Paul is the opportunity to touch the future and improving the lives of the children she works with.  She is passionate about not only creating a solid academic foundation for her students, but also a solid spiritual foundation built on Christ.Through her many efforts with the school, Barbra has created a lasting family community through annual events such as “Pumpkin Patch”, “Family Advent Night”, “Run With The Son” and Health Expo.Barbara has been married for 25 years and has 3 wonderful children.  On her time off she enjoys to cook for others.
