I grew up in Alief and graduated from Elsik High School. I graduated from UH in 2008, but did not immediately go into traditional teaching and instead was a private teacher using online curricula such as Laurel Springs and Connections Academy. I did a couple of years as a set teacher as well. 

By the time I decided it was time to teach in a classroom setting, I had picked up several certificates for a wide range of age groups. While teaching GenEd in a charter school, I developed an interest in SpEd and was able to start in a self contained classroom teaching an alternative classroom. I learned so much! 

I recently relocated to the southwest side of Houston and was fortunate enough to join the CME team :)!
