I was born in El Paso, Texas. I traveled around the world with my family. I am a graduate of Liberty University. I have over 25 years of teaching experience in daycare, preparatory, private, public, and Department of Defense Schools. I am passionate about education and working in an educational environment to inspire, and deposit the love for learning. My favorite pastime is spending time with my family. One of my favorite scriptures is Ephesians 2:10 "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." This school year I am looking forward to making an impact on the lives of students and families for Christ.
