This is going to be an AMAZING year and I am so EXCITED to be able to share it with you once again!! This will be my 15th year of teaching art, all of which have been in VISD with all but my first two as a Titan. I love what I do because I get to do what I love and that is to create art while getting to teach and inspire others to create as well. I have three children (16, 8, and 5) and a loving husband at home. I love spending time with my family whether it is outside caring for our many animals, in the garden/greenhouse, or inside all snuggled together on the couch watching a good movie. My family is my life and I cherish every moment I have with them.

Some of my other hats that I wear in addition to being a Mother, a Wife, and an Art Teacher are:

• Fine Arts Teacher

• CTE Teacher

• Mentor to First Year Teachers

• Digital Art Club Sponsor

• UIL Film/Animation Sponsor

• VISD Visual Arts Facilitator

• Texas Art Education Association (TAEA) Region 3 Representative

• Donor'sChoose Teacher Advocate for Victoria East High School
