Greetings!  This is my third year as an 8^th grade Reading Teacher and 7^th/8th grade AIM Teacher at Tejeda.  I feel very blessed to have joined the Tejeda family.   My teaching career started at Judson ISD and I moved to NEISD shortly after that.  I am coming to Tejeda after working seven years at Garner Middle School in NEISD and for a short time at SAISD.  I graduated from UTSA with a BBA in Management and worked many years in the corporate world before finding my place in the teaching field.  I have several Reading/English certifications to include Elementary, Middle, and High School.  I have also taught 9^th grade English at NEISD for several summers.  I am no stranger to NEISD.  My husband and I were both born and raised in San Antonio and we are both graduates of Roosevelt High School.  Our son, Bryan, attended Bradley Middle School and graduated from Johnson High School in 2012.  I am a big animal lover, and your kids will probably refer to me as the "cat lady."  I have two cats, a dog, and several koi fish in our pond.  I enjoy fitness, swimming, dancing, camping, and pretty much anything outdoors.  I look forward to a great year with your students.  Feel free to contact me via email at anytime if there is anything I can do to help your child be more successful.
