I was born in Palmer, AK and raised in Richmond, TX. A product of Fort Bend ISD, I attended Garcia Middle School and was part of the first full graduating class from Travis High School. After graduation, I attended college at the University of Houston, where I received a bachelor's degree in Business Communications. 

My teaching philosophy is rooted in my beliefs that education has the potential to create a more understanding and growing world. Education, in its most pure form, moves with our ever-changing world. Likewise classroom management is a process rather than a product. As society morphs around its priorities, education’s goal should be to meet the needs of the people.

Aside from teaching, I love to spend my time with family and friends. I have a 9-year-old son, so most of our time is spent at football practices or playing outside. I am the eldest of four siblings and I try my best to spend as much time with them as I can, as family is the number one priority in my life. 

I look forward to a fantastic school year. It’s a great day to be a Knight!
