I am proud to have been born and raised in Gainesville, Texas, where I attended St. Mary’s School from Kindergarten through 8th grade. I feel truly blessed to teach in such a loving and safe environment, giving back to the school that played a significant role in shaping my life. After graduating from St. Mary’s in 2004, I attended Gainesville High School and graduated in May 2008. I then pursued higher education at North Central Texas College, earning my Associates of Science degree. In 2015, I began studying at Texas Woman’s University, majoring in Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus on Early Childhood through 6th grade. I graduated in May 2016 and earned my Texas Standard Teaching Certification. In 2010, I married Justin Snider, and together we are blessed with three boys: Hayes Earl, Wyatt George, and Waylon John.
