Where Sharon Makes an Impact

Sharon believes in customized learning experiences that guide students to discover the aha moment on their own. Her role as Director is to observe, guide, and provide clarity for families, students, and coaches. Education should be a fun journey that is relevant and purposeful. She loves coaching and teaching middle school students who are most authentic, a bit tumultuous, but so much fun to guide.

Sharon is married and loves being a mom of 3 girls and regrets not having 3 more! Her oldest is studying sociology at Wheaton College (her mom’s Alma mater!), and her two younger ones attend Taylor HS & McMeans MS in the KATY ISD.

Favorite Core Value

Sharon resonates most with Be Intentional because intent is invisible, yet any group’s perception ultimately becomes the shared reality. She wants her team to be intentional in everything they do, and to always assume good intent.
