I am the Director of Digital and Learning Resources at El Paso Independent School District. I lead a team of instructional specialists, library media services staff, and academic competitions staff. I have twenty-seven years of experience in education, with a Master of Education in Educational Administration, and completed my course hours for the Doctor of Philosophy in Teaching, Learning, and Culture, specializing in STEM. I am also a Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert and Fellow, a Wakelet Ambassador, and a current CoSN Advisory Board Member for Driving K-12 Innovation, with multiple certifications and publications in technology and education.

My mission is to create and sustain instructional momentum by using technology within curriculum and instruction and designing and implementing relevant digital literacy and learning models across the district. I collaborate with stakeholders to support the community vision, philosophy, and goals and to provide long-range planning for technology, learning management systems, applications, and personalized learning. I am passionate about cultivating a growth mindset, being culturally responsive, and empowering students and teachers to thrive in a globalizing and digital world.
