After attending Bradley Middle School, I graduated from MacArthur High School and UTSA. I began my teaching career at Horace Mann Middle School.  I taught Language Arts, directed the One-Act Play, and was the UIL Coordinator there for two years.  I then came back to North East and have taught English/ELAR for the 19 years since then.

I teach writing through life experiences because that's the one thing that everybody has.  Life is the primary textbook I choose for my course.  To be genuinely good at writing, be it for tests, essays, and everything between and beyond, one must enjoy it.
