I was born in Houston, TX and spent my K-12 years in Fort Bend ISD. For college, I attended Prairie View A&M University where I earned a B.A. in English and gained a deep love for words and stories. 

Sharing this love brought me to teaching at Willowridge High, where I strive to make literature and writing pleasurable experiences for my students. As I enter my second year here, I recognize more clearly the needs of ALL of my students and have committed to ensuring that they ALL have their needs meet. This includes preparing students for exams (STAAR, SAT, ACT) to life beyond graduation (college and career).
