Introduction

I am so excited to be at Zachary Taylor Elementary School as the Family Resource Center Coordinator! I received my undergraduate degree from Campbellsville University in Social Work. I then went on to receive a Master’s degree in Social Work as well. I am honored to work with our ZT staff and am committed to making a positive difference in the lives of our ZT students and families.

I was born and raised in Louisville, KY and am a JCPS alum. I recently got married and my husband works with JCPS schools as well. We love spending time together, traveling, and hanging out with friends! Some background information about me is that my family is from Peru, which means I speak Spanish and love to connect with all of our Spanish-speaking families.

Program Mission

The Family Resource Center (FRC) is a valuable part of the team at Zachary Taylor. The FRC coordinator is dedicated to ensuring that each student has the resources he or she needs for academic success. This is accomplished through providing direct service as well as making referrals to community agencies. Our FRC is committed to building partnerships for effective change with each student, their families, and community members/volunteers.

FRC’s from many schools work together in “CT’s” (Collaborative Teams) to spread the word about their programs, and educational opportunities throughout the community.

FRC’s assist students and families with their needs. ALL families. ALL needs. We advocate for ALL students.
