In this section, you will find information about me as an educator, and learner.
I have been in education for six years now, three as a teacher at Northside Elementary School of Desoto ISD, two as a teacher at David Daniels Elementary, and currently at Reagan Middle School of Grand Prairie ISD.
During this time, I've taught 1st-grade, 4th-grade science, 5th-grade math and science, and 6th-grade science to wonderful young minds from both low and high socioeconomic backgrounds. I have grown tremendously in my career because of great leadership and wonderful opportunities. Various leaders on my campuses saw and encouraged my determination to make my class and grade level successful and the school district as a whole. As a result, I've been nominated and allowed to serve on many committees. My collaboration has contributed to an abundance of changes on the campuses I've worked at.
