¡Hola!

Hi, I’m an Applied Program teacher at the high school level. I teach General Employability Skills, Introduction to Culinary Arts, Human Growth and Development, and Making Connections.

I was born and raised in Brownsville, Texas, and then moved to Houston during my teenage years. I graduated high school in Baytown, Texas, and later attended the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York, where I graduated in 2008 with a degree in digital media.

I worked as a teacher assistant for almost eight years—two years in Houston and six years at the Texas School for the Deaf. I recently graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Special Education from Texas State University in San Marcos.

I became a teacher as a long-term substitute for Algebra I and Math Models, then taught Introduction to Culinary Arts for a year. I am now an Applied Program teacher.

I am a mom to one human daughter and two fur babies (dogs). My hobbies are crocheting, drawing, painting, cooking, baking, and gardening. 

Looking forward to what a new school year will come! A fresh school year means new faces, new challenges, and plenty of little victories to celebrate along the way.

My motto is "Don’t let your disability define you—let it be a part of who you are, and thrive."
