Hello! Very proud to say I am a graduated of Martin High School and a graduate of TAMIU. 

Degrees and Certifications:

Certified 1st. through 8th grade

Professional Development:

Every year, teachers get a plethora of training. For the year 2022-2023, I will be receiving training in the following areas;

*GT re-certification

*Bilingual updates on the law and teaching practices

*Reading Academies – 60 hours of training on Reading teaching techniques and strategies for the whole group and small group instruction.

There will be many other teacher training throughout the school year.

Current Position:

I graduated in 2002 from TAMIU with a Bilingual teaching degree. I have worked for UISD for 12 years. I have taught all grade levels at the elementary level. Fifth grade, 1st grade and 2nd grade have been the grade levels I have most experience on. I currently teach 2nd grade. 

Previous Position:

I was an LISD elementary school teacher for 8 years with all my experience in 5th grade. At LISD, I was trained and received certification to be a teacher mentor.  

Family Information:

I have been very happily married for 32 years. My husband and I were high school sweethearts. I have 3 children, a 25-year-old son, an 18-year-old son, and a 16-year-old daughter. All of my children are UISD educated. My oldest son is a graduate of TAMIU and is currently working on his master's degree. He will be graduating in May and his plan is to continue to law school in Dallas. My 18-year-old son is currently enrolled in the nursing program at LC and he plans to transfer to TAMIU to finish his bachelor's degree. My daughter is a junior at United High School. 

Personal Information:

My family and I love to go camping. Most of our 3 or 4 day weekends are spent camping, hiking, or riding our bicycles.
