Where are you from?
I am a native Texan born in San Antonio, which is known as "The Alamo City." I also lived in New Orleans, Louisiana and the Destin, Florida area before moving to Austin. I love the white sand beaches of the Emerald Coast! Where did you go to school? I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Southwest Texas State University in 1999 with a Bachelor's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies and a minor in Early Childhood Education. I completed my Master degree in Educational Leadership through the University of Texas at Arlington in 2013. Are you ready for the challenge? Absolutely! With experience in both the General Education classroom and as a General Education Inclusion teacher, I am proud to be part of the Dragon Leader team at Lee Lewis Campbell Elementary Media and Performing Arts Institute! I am certified in Early Childhood Education, General Education, English as a Second Language, and Educational Leadership. I am also certified as a Compassionate Bereavement Care Provider with The MISS Foundation. I am a firm believer in helping scholars build foundational social and emotional skills to support learning. What do you like? I love spending time with family and friends, reading, writing, traveling, meeting new people, baking, making beaded jewelry, and walking on the beach. One of my passions is sea turtle conservation. What is your favorite book? Because reading is a favorite pastime, deciding on just one book is impossible! I love reading Harry Potter, Anne Rice, and pretty much all children’s books. |
