My name is Viviana Viveros Velez. I am one of Holley's special education teachers in the resource room. The 2022-2023 school year is my second year here!  

I attended elementary, middle, and high school in Colombia, where I was born and raised. My bachelor's and master's degree in the field of Education are from the University of Puerto Rico. Currently, I am completing a Ph.D. program in Leadership in Special Education.
As a physical education instructor, I began my teaching career at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez campus. In 2014, my husband and I moved to Houston, and I started my journey in public school as a special education aid. Since I passed my TX teaching certificate, I have been teaching in the resource room. 

I enjoy spending time with my husband and reading about and doing fitness and mindfulness in my free time. 

I am excited about supporting the students in the Resource class this school year! I truly advocate for special education students and their families' rights. I have been so fortunate to be part of the MHE staff.

Hoping to have a successful school year!!!
