Summary
With a background encompassing three years of administrative expertise and twelve years of teaching across three school districts in Southeast Texas, I bring a wealth of experience to this role. This extensive teaching tenure has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of a student's educational journey from their initial school years to their introduction to state assessments. Extremely organized and motivated, I thrive on positivity and make it my focus to build relationships with staff members, parents, and students to promote student success. Beyond my professional achievements, I've enjoyed a fulfilling 17-year marriage and take pride in raising my two sons, aged 9 and 15.
