Welcome to 8th Grade Reading

I graduated from UTSA in 2001 with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Communication. I received my alternative teaching certificate in 2004 as a 4-8 Generalist, following the completion of Region 20's alternative teaching program. I began my career in Northside where I taught for eight years. During that time, I earned my Masters in Educational Administration from Concordia University in 2009 and principal certification. After leaving NISD, I taught for two years in Colorado Springs before returning to Texas. Since returning, I have been with NEISD, teaching two years at Jackson Middle School and finally landing at Nimitz Middle School.

I am currently teaching four sections of 8th grade Reading and also serving as the Nimitz Proper §504 Coordinator. In addition to teaching, I am currently a graduate student at Angelo State University pursuing my Professional School Counseling masters degree with hopes of graduating in December 2022 and becoming a middle or high school counselor.

I love teaching reading, and I especially love teaching reluctant readers. I find it a challenge to help students who don't like to read become lifelong readers. My hope is to help your children grow into not only strong readers, but strong individuals who have confidence in their abilities and know that their future is limitless.
