Hello!!!!! I am honored and excited to serve as one of the early childhood school counselors at Menchaca Early Childhood Center. This is my 5th year as a school counselor. I am very passionate, and energetic, and feel it’s a privilege to do what I do every day. The social, emotional, and academic development of your child are my top priorities and I will always advocate for that. 

Prior to joining MECC, I worked for Child Protective Services as an Investigator Specialist, Family-Based Safety Services Specialist, and Conservator Specialist. After working for CPS, I worked at UT Health Science Center in San Antonio, as a Youth Health Counselor. From these experiences, I decided to pursue a degree that would allow me to help children become more successful students, work with them to help them effectively deal with a variety of problems, and inspire them to do their personal best in their lives. I obtained my alternative teaching certificate from Region 20. I have worked at an early childhood center in Somerset ISD, taught Kindergarten and 1st grade for 13 years at Floresville ISD and Pleasanton ISD, and then worked as a School Counselor in San Antonio ISD, Floresville ISD, and here at Menchaca ECC in Southside ISD. 

On a personal note, I was born and raised in Floresville, TX and currently reside in Floresville. I am married to my high school sweetheart, George, and we have two wonderful children, Ileana (18) and Esai (12), that keep my husband and I busy with all of their activities. Another huge piece of my life is our dog, a Shih Tzu, named Niko. He provides us with endless entertainment and cuddles. My favorite pastimes are watching movies, shopping, and spending time with friends and family. My family and I enjoy spending time at the beach and river. 

I love being a school counselor and every day I feel thankful to have the opportunity to be working with students, teachers, the administrative team, and parents. My belief is to always encourage all students to strive to achieve their goals. Please contact me with any questions or concerns.
