Professional...

I am currently the World Language Department chair at Austin High School and I also teach levels II and IVAP.  I hold a Bachelor 's Degree in Spanish and Psychology and a Master's Degree in secondary Education.  I  have been teaching in secondary public schools since 2006 and at Austin High School since 2014.  I am ready and excited to work with all my students this year.

Personal...

I am originally from Honduras, raised in NY.  I am married to Osman Ruiz and we are proud parents of 3 beautiful children, our "Three D's"; Destiny (15), Daylan(8) and Dimara(3).  Having relocated to the Houston area from the Bronx, NY, our entire family has found a new love for Texas.  We love Texas and hope it will be our "home" for years to come.

Pastime...

I enjoy crafting, decorating, cooking, shopping and spending quality time with family.  My passion for decorating and organizing is portrayed in my personality and in the classroom.  I love sharing ideas and infusing the LOVE of LIFE and the LOVE for SPANISH LANGUAGE AND CULTURE in everyone I meet.
