Our Team

Stanford grew up in The Episcopal Church in Jackson, Mississippi, and claimed the church as his own while he was a college student at Princeton University. Following college, Stanford came to Austin and graduated from UT School of Law. After several years of practicing law, he followed a call to the priesthood and graduated from seminary at Sewanee: The University of the South. Stanford has practiced law in Nashville and San Antonio and served Episcopal parishes in Mississippi and Texas. Stanford has three children, Max (19), Ellen (16), and Will (12).

Good Shepherd has been my home for over a decade, and it is an absolute dream to lead a school with such an extremely talented and dedicated staff and welcoming and supportive community.

This will be my fifteenth year in education, and although I have always felt at home in the classroom, I found a new passion and fulfillment working in administration as the Director of Special Programs and serving as a teacher mentor and representative on various leadership teams. I’m excited for the opportunity to work collaboratively with teachers and staff, while also remaining connected to families and young students learning and growing in the classroom. I have a deep understanding of child development and truly enjoy these magical early childhood years.

On a personal note, my husband and I have been married for sixteen years and we have two amazing little boys that keep us busy and make our hearts incredibly full. They are both proud Good Shepherd alumni and never miss an opportunity to come back and visit! It’s hard to believe we will have middle school and high school kiddos next year. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, cheering the loudest at my kids’ sporting events, and taking on the occasional home design project.

Welcome to Good Shepherd, we are so happy you are here!
