Summary

Highly qualified and experienced educator with a masters degree and 14 years of diverse teaching experiences. Throughout my career, I have taught students ranging from ages 3 to 18. Currently I serve as an AVID tutor and STEM teacher. In my role as AVID tutor, I guide students through the college preparation process covering topics such as the importance of higher education, navigating the college application process, securing scholarships, writing essays and selecting the appropriate college. As a STEM teacher I utilize Legos, cubelets and robotic activities to impart STEM concepts to students.


In addition to my professional responsibilities, I am also the parent to two students currently enrolled at Texas A&M University, providing me with valuable insights into contemporary college life.
