I have lived in Brownfield all my life, except during my years in college. I attended Brownfield ISD from kindergarten through graduation in 2005. Throughout middle school and high school, I was an active member in athletics, FCA, Industrial Technology, Student Council, National Honor Society, and Spanish National Honor Society. I was blessed to have a group of caring teachers and coaches that helped instill in me high morals and values. It was because of the influences of these teachers and mentors that I decided to pursue a career in early childhood. My 5th grade teacher, Mrs. Dana Cooley, showed compassion and a contagious love of learning. Coaches Annette Densmore and Amy Mangum taught me leadership, perseverance, and a love for sports and teamwork. I later had a new appreciation for them when I became a coach myself.

On July 2020, the Federal Communications Commission or FCC presented a 69 page document to the House and Senate. The document was WC Docket No. 18-336, which in layman’s term was the implementation of the National Suicide Hotline Improvement Act of 2018. The docket made 988 the official three digit number to reach the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline number and speak with one of their representatives. Before the docket the only way to reach the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline was to dial 1-800- 273-8255, which will stay in effect until July 16, 2022, but with the docket passing, dialing 988 is the official three digit number to reach them.
