I was born and raised in Houston Texas! I graduated from NorthShore High School on the Northeast side of town. I was able to obtain a Track and Field scholarship to the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). I had a great experience there winning 4 Southland conference championship rings. I graduated with a bachelors degree in Business Marketing but always wanted more.

A few years later I decided to go back to school, but with a little twist. I went on to study abroad at the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico for a Bachelors of Science majoring in nursing. I lived in San Juan Puerto Rico for 2 years and it was very interesting....and FUN!!! Once I moved back to Texas, I gained a new study relationship with Science and could not get enough of it! I decided that being able to teach young minds of the knowledge I have gained over the years, and being in a academic, goal driven, educational environment was something I would LOVE to do for a living. 

This is my fifth year teaching at Elkins High school and I am still VERY EXCITED to get students excited about Biology.
