Welcome to Applied English and Reading (Resource English and Project Read) at Travis High School. This is my fourth year teaching English at Travis. Prior to teaching public high school, I was a Graduate Student Teacher at the University of California, Irvine. While raising three wonderful sons here in Texas (all FBISD graduates), I have worked as a private tutor. I have also conducted and published first-hand research of multi-cultural patterns in a Houston community. Communication and literacy skills are essential for success and life-long fulfillment. I am honored to share my love of reading and writing with our terrific Tigers.
