"I am the Low Brass Director at Weslaco East High School. I have been teaching for 6 years and I have enjoyed every minute of it! I graduated from Palmview High School in La Joya, Texas. I then went to college at Texas A&M University-Kingsville where I received my bachelor’s degree in Music Education with a teaching certification. When I am not teaching, I enjoy playing my instrument with local jazz groups, Latin groups, and even rock bands! The opportunities for musicians are endless!"
