I am originally from East Texas and moved to Austin in 2002. This year will be my 8th year at Westlake and I couldn’t feel more blessed to work with such amazing dancers and parents. There are so many wonderful dance teams out there, but I honestly believe that Hyline is the best of the best. Hyline is an amazing organization that demonstrates compassion, humility and love to everyone involved. I believe that being on a high school dance team teaches life long lessons which will give young ladies a head start when entering the "real world". On our team, we work hard and we play hard. I am proud that Hyline revolves around a loving and safe atmosphere that young woman can grow and prosper in. I have been married to my amazing husband, John, for over 2 years now and in November, we will be welcoming our first daughter, Hope Adair, into the world. We live in Southwest Austin and attend Lake Hills Church.

No one has yet fully realized the wealth of sympathy, kindness, and generosity hidden in the soul of a child.  The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure

I have spent my life dancing since the age of three and was lucky to quickly discover my passion. After being lead by such inspiring directors at Westwood High School, it was obvious that drill team directing would be my path. I am so fortunate to have a calling that enables me to do what I love while working with not only admirable directors, but also with wonderful and dedicated young ladies. I am so blessed to be here at Westlake High School working with the incredibly talented members of Hyline. I am extremely grateful to be a part of the Hyline family and be surrounded by such loving and encouraging people!
