I grew up in the Dallas area for most of my life. I attended Richland Collegiate High School for my junior and senior years of high school. I graduated from RCHS in 2017. In the fall of 2017, I attended the University of Texas at Dallas to obtain my bachelors degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a 4th-8th grade ELAR teaching certification. 

After graduating from college in the spring of 2020, I began working as an 8th grade ELAR teacher in Richardson ISD. After teaching 8th grade for one year, I decided to try teaching 7th grade ELAR the following year. I absolutely loved 7th grade, and decided to continue my time with that particular age group. After 3 years in Richardson ISD, I decided to move to Plano ISD to move closer to home, and serve the community that I grew up being a part of. 

This year will be my fourth year of teaching. I am looking forward to being an Otto Bobcat! 

In my free time, I enjoy reading, writing, working out at Orange Theory Fitness, and spending quality time with friends and family. I have a three year old cat name Luca. He is the sweetest little boy ever! 

I decided to go into teaching because I was inspired by the amazing teachers that I had as a student. I want to empower all students to realize their potential to be the best version of themselves!
