This is my 22nd year at Garcia. Most of that time has been dedicated to teaching math.  I graduated from University of Houston-Downtown with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a Math specialization. I love the challenge of what middle school students bring every day and being able to build relationships with them. 

Outside of the classroom I enjoy spending time with my husband, Paul, and my two children, Paige, who is in her 10th year of education, and Devin, who works in the veterinary medicine department at MD Anderson.  I also enjoy reading and traveling.
