Born in Colombia, South America, my family immigrated to Houston when I was 5 years old.  I have called Houston home ever since then.  I enjoy reading and traveling, and I am learning to knit and speak sign language.  I graduated from University of Houston Clearlake in 2002.  This is my 21st year teaching.  My first 11 years of teaching were in HISD and the last ten years in FBISD.  I taught kindergarten for 8 years, third for 10 yrs, and second grade for 3 years.  I am ESL and GT certified.

My philosophy in teaching is that if you set the bar high and give students  the tools they need with enthusiasm, every child will surpass the high bar of excellence.  Building great relationships with students, parents, and other teachers is the key to success!
