Let me begin by telling you a few things about my educational background. I was raised in Missouri City, Texas and attended E.A. Jones Elementary, Missouri City Middle School, and Willowridge High School.  In 1999, I became a proud alumnus of Texas Southern University. I began my journey as an educator at Briargate Elementary in August 2000. Fast-forward to August 2025, I can say that I have been a proud teacher for 25 years.
