About me

I have been a Special Education teacher for 12 years, and this is my 1st year at Argyle High School. I graduated Cum Laude from UT-El Paso with a degree in Writing and Literature in 2008.  I then completed a Certification program for Special Education. I have a passion for serving teens in an Academic/STEP self-contained setting. My focus is helping young adults be successful as they transition to life beyond high school. I will work closely with Transition staff,  will help provide work based learning opportunities, and will advocate for my student's needs. I value parent input and know how important it is to have a school and home connection. I love what I do and want the best for my students! 

In STEP 2, we focus on:

•  Functional academics: real-world activities/lessons such as Money skills, budgeting, completing tasks, comprehension, using technology, initiating and completing tasks, etc...

• In class support for electives to foster independence at school

• Practice social, vocational and independent living skills: Work based Learning and Community Based Instructional opportunities, Daily Living skills, Self-Advocacy, Safety Awareness 

• Collaborate with Transition staff for life beyond high school: explore career interests, post-secondary options and goals, provide support and information for family decisions about services through Adult agencies.
