Hello and welcome to my staff page:

I graduated with a Bachelor in Interdisciplinary Studies with a Specialization in Bilingual Education with a concentration in Science from the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) in 1996. Go Miners!　 I immediately started my teaching career, after graduating from college. During my 21 years of teaching, I have taught first grade, fourth grade, and kindergarten.　 I quickly realized that teaching kindergarten was my passion.　 I have taught kindergarten for the past 19 years, and have truly enjoyed every moment spent nurturing my student’s education. 　　

My first group of students are now in high school.　 I was honored and humbled to be selected as Regency Place Teacher of the Year in  2011 and 2018.　 PTA also honored me as a Lifetime member recipient.

My teaching objective is to provide the children with a strong academic foundation so they can succeed in the first grade and beyond. I try to instill the core values of respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, trustworthiness and citizenship.　 I accomplish this in a caring, loving, and safe learning environment.　 I believe the hardest part related to my job is saying goodbye to my students the last day of school.　　

I look forward to meeting with you so we can establish an effective line of communication to create the parent/teacher collaborative partnership needed to expand your child’s education. My contact information is above – I look forward to meeting you all in the near future.
