Hello Mendenhall! My name is Evelyn Pereira, and I am very excited about joining the Long Horns family. This will be marking my 13th year as an educator, where I have taught 2nd-6th grade. Also, this will be my sixth year serving as a Bilingual Instructional Coach Specialist and my first year at Mendenhall. I grew up in Brazil and moved to Dallas in 9th grade. I graduated from American Military University with a Bachelor of Science in Sports Science, and I earned my Master's Degree in Leadership and Policy Studies from the University of Texas at Arlington. Some of the things I enjoy the most outside of school are dancing and reading novels by the beach or lake.
