Howdy Broncos!

I am thrilled to be teaching Art at The Nation, a diverse community of learners. I, myself, am an immigrant. Born in the Philippines, my parents moved the whole family to the United States when I was 11 months old. I attended elementary, middle and high school in Fort Bend ISD, so I am very proud to be back as a teacher. Later in life, I went to college to study art, psychology and education. I also worked on a local magazine as well as many other projects as a graphic designer. 

Why did I become a teacher? After many years in the corporate world, I wanted to dedicate my energy and efforts to giving back to my community and enriching the lives of young people. Improving the quality of education for the next generation requires a teacher to be relevant and communicate important life and work skills while instilling a love of learning in every student. My goal is to encourage them to find and develop their own creativity in any field they decide to pursue.
