I was born and raised in San Antonio. I attended Abilene Christian University and received a Bachelors in English Education. I then continued my education by attending Lamar Univeristy and received a masters in Teacher Leadership with an emphasis in curriculum and instruction. 

This is my eighth year at Samuel Clemens. I have previously taught Freshmen, but currently teach Sophomores and Juniors. I have been the UIL Ready Writing and Spelling coach and taken talented students to regionals and state.

I am passionate about teaching English and encouraging students to develop a passion for reading, as well as becoming lifelong learners. I look forward to this upcoming year.
