Summary
Semi-retired commercials insurance agent eager to make a career change into education. I have begun the process of certification with Texas Teachers of Tomorrow.
My legal training and professional sales career, I believe, make me an excellent candidate to lead History, Government, and Economics classes, and to possibly help with DECA programs.
In my personal life, I was married to a first generation Mexican immigrant for 18 years and, therefore, have the ability to speak, read, and write Spanish beyond a basic level. I will attempt to specialize in this area.
