Biography: Hello, my name is Ms. Smarz and I am Campus Data Leader for Natha Howell Elementary School. I always wanted to be an educator, but I started out as a Hair Stylist to earn the money necessary to attend college.
After earning my Bachelor in Education from Texas Women’s University, I entered the education world to explore my passion for teaching children, English as a Second Language and mathematics. I was a classroom teacher for 12 years. During that time, I earned my Masters in Education with a specialization in math from Texas Wesleyan University.
Currently, I work as a Campus Data Leader for Fort Worth ISD, where I’m focused on mathematics, equity, and testing. I’ve spent the last thirteen years learning everything there is to know about being a data analyst—from student assessment, coaching teachers about data to monitoring our second language learners. I’m applying this knowledge in my role as Data Leader for Natha Howell Elementary, where I’m responsible for collaborating with teachers and administrators to align our strategy, schedules, and activities related to student assessments. For most people, data doesn’t sound very interesting. For me, collecting and analyzing complex data is a passion. I’ve been chasing this for 10 years. I would say I’m living the dream. During my free time, I spend ballroom dancing. My favorite dance of all is West Coast swing. I enjoy watching the Big Bang and am a Texas Ranger fan. I especially take joy in teaching my grandchildren to garden and thrill to see them carry-on the love of gardening.

ROAR Success Criteria: Each day at Natha Howell, I hope that all teachers come prepared with a sense of urgency and a set of high expectations for all students.

Biography- I have a passion for coaching and supporting teachers at all levels with all content areas. I tend to look forward to each new day, week, month, and school year to jumpstart the task of supporting teachers to support student growth. I am committed to this work because I believe that the effort and diligence that goes into creating consistency and engagement with student learning is worth it. The journey that teachers and students go on to discover, understand, practice, and persevere with new challenges is hard work, but I know that our students are worth it, and our team is up for the challenge.
When I’m not here at Natha Howell supporting our staff and students, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our kids and dogs, doing home improvement projects, cooking, reading, and gardening. Gardening might be my favorite thing to do with my family; I look forward to the time every winter when we can spread seeds and plant bulbs in our flower beds, and every spring when we get to see it all come to life.
