This is my 28th year in public education. I also spent several years in private education. I began my career as a 7th and 8th grade ELA and ESL teacher, cheer coach, and I later moved into the roles of SIOP Peer Facilitator, and ESL Instructional Specialist. I earned my bachelor’s degree from University of Houston-Clear Lake, master’s degree from the University of St. Thomas, and Doctorate of Education from Lamar University. My husband and I have been married for 20+ years, and we have one adult daughter. We also have a very spoiled pit bull mix, and we are advocates for the breed. We also enjoy off-roading and rock crawling in our Jeeps. I am honored to serve the students and families of CBJ.
