Skylar was born and raised in Carrizo Springs, Texas, and has called Midland home since 2018. A graduate of Permian High School, she went on to earn an Associate’s Degree in General Studies from Weatherford College.

Skylar recently married her best friend, and together they share two miniature Australian Shepherds—Merle and Piper—and a horse named Una. Horses have been a lifelong passion for Skylar. She’s been around them since childhood and especially enjoys barrel racing, as well as riding and training in her spare time.

When they’re not at home, Skylar and her husband love to travel and explore new places.
