I became an educator 12 years ago because I have a passion for teaching and learning. It brings me great joy to see students strive for excellence and achieve their goals. Before coming to Austin Environmental Science Academy I served as an elementary school counselor, and I taught Kindergarten here in GPISD. This will be my first year here and am excited about this journey. In my short amount of time here, I have witnessed the love the staff here at Austin have for their students, their focus on data to drive instruction, and their superb work ethic.  I believe that every child can learn if we first believe in, equip them with the necessary skills and tools to be successful and  hold them to high expectations. 

I love to spend time with my loved ones, exercise, and Pinterest!
