I began my career in Houston in 1998 at a small private school for students with emotional and behavioral differences. From 2000-2003 I taught social studies grades 6th-8th in Houston ISD where I held several leadership positions. I moved to Austin in August of 2003 and taught middle school social studies in Austin ISD for 6 years at Burnet Middle School. During this time I was team leader and social studies department chair. Since 2009 I have worked in Round Rock ISD as a social studies teacher, holding various leadership positions including team leader and department chair at both Ridegivew and Cedar Valley Middle Schools, then served as an assistant principal at Grisham and C D Fulkes Middle Schools. In July 2021 I was named principal of Pearson Ranch Middle School.
