About Me: 

B.A. in English Literature, Minor in Kinesiology University of North Texas - Denton, TX; A.A. in English Tarrant County College - FOrt Worth, TX; High School Diploma Trinity High School - Euless, TX. This is my second year at Crosswinds Accelerated High School, and my fourth year of teaching overall. I am originally from Shreveport, Louisiana and an avid reader, football and baseball fan, and musicican. My favorite books include the Harry Potter series, and my current, favorite author is Levi Lusko. I am a fan of the LSU Tigers, New Orleans Saints, and Texas Rangers.

I have also studied bass, guitar, vocals, piano, and trumpet. I pursued music while in college and perfomed in several DFW area bands. I've opened a few big name acts! In high school, I was part of two Texas State Championship football teams at Euless Trinity in which we started the tradition of the Haka.

My educational vision is to ensure that all students realize their brighter future regardless of their circumstances. I believe any student, through hard work and determination, can become a better reader, writer and thinker.
