Jill Flores

My name is Jill Flores and I am a proud graduate of Texas A&M University.  I am originally from Laredo, TX, and lived there until I moved to College Station.  I moved to Houston in 2000, and can't imagine living anywhere else.  I come from a big family that is spread out between Laredo, San Antonio, and Houston.  We love doing family trips during the summer and try to get together as often as we can.

I have been in education for 18 years.  During those 18 years, I gained experience teaching Kindergarten, 2nd grade, and 4th grade. I started my career with Aldine ISD in 2000, and then moved to Spring ISD in 2008.  My certifications include:  ESL, Early Childhood, Reading, Math, and Elementary Education grades Pre-K - 6. 

This is my third year with Fort Bend ISD as an ESL Support Teacher.  I am greatful to be a part of Mission West Elementary and look forward to a successful school year!
