About Me

I was born in San Antonio, Texas and graduated from Sidney Lanier High School. I attended the University of Texas at San Antonio and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in English and a Master's degree in Literacy Education with a concentration on Reading Specialist preparation. I taught English I and II for five years while dually taking on the role of ESL coordinator. After an internship as a Reading Specialist, I accepted a position as a seventh and eighth grade Reading  teacher. I have most recently worked as a Bilingual and ESL Coordinator and Interventionist. My motivation for wanting to teach stemmed from my love of the subject and my desire as a young girl to teach my grandparents to read, write, and learn the English language.  I witnessed first hand the difficulty inherent in illiteracy. My goal as a teacher is to continue improving, learning, and motivating students to obtain empowerment through literacy.
