Hello, Wildcats! I have lived the majority of my life in the Houston area. My interests outside of my passion of teaching are spending time with my husband, three dogs, and family. I love to travel and explore beautiful places in the United States and abroad.

I've been teaching over 20 years, and I've taught third, fourth grade, and English learner students. I received both my Bachelor and Masters' degree from the University of Houston. I have certifications in teaching grades 1st - 8th, biology, reading, and English as a Second Language (ESL).

I understand that English Learners (EL) come with a wealth of culture and no single approach is right for every child. My greatest passion for teaching EL students is by helping them to develop the English language in their everyday life and love learning. I inspire students to establish and express their own opinions in what they read.
