I am so excited to be a part of Gifted and Talented program at Donald.  I have been at Donald for 32 years!  I have taught grades K-3 and GT for 36 years.  I earned my bachelor's degree from the University of Texas at Arlington in History and Elementary Education. I am certified to teach grade levels pre-k to 8th grade. I was teacher of the year at Donald in 1999 and 2016. I was awarded the HEB Excellence in Education award in 2018.   I served on the Superintendent Council.  I am on the Donald Design team, STEM Academy team, PTA Representative, and Student Council sponsor. I am also the sponsor for KKIDS News, our local news broadcast team. I started Designing Dolphins eight years ago which is a STEM Lab that encourages collaboration, problem solving and creativity.  I am STEM certified and ESL certified. I currently serve on the LISD Vision Task Force. I write curriculum for GT and STEM.  I look forward to working with all students over the course of the year.
