As the Social Studies Department Chair and Economics Team Leader at Plano West, I play a key role in shaping curriculum and promoting academic excellence. I have had the privilege of serving as a Plano ISD Curriculum Writer, where I contributed to the development and piloting of the Mexican and African American Cultural Studies courses, as well as the Government and Economics curriculum. Additionally, I serve on the district’s Social Studies Textbook Adoption Committee, ensuring that our materials align with current educational standards and best practices.
In the summer, I also assist with U.S. History EOC interventions and summer school, further supporting student success and bridging gaps in learning. As an AP Microeconomics Reader for College Board and the Weekend SAT Coordinator at Plano West, I bring valuable experience to both my students and colleagues. As one of the two Technology Planners at Plano West, I work to integrate innovative technologies into the classroom while leading district-wide professional development initiatives for educators.
Outside my primary responsibilities, I sponsor several student clubs at Plano West, where I am dedicated to cultivating leadership, engagement, and a strong sense of community among students. In my spare time, I actively volunteer at local schools and support various charitable organizations, reinforcing my commitment to making a meaningful impact both in and outside the classroom.
I am currently working on finishing the requirements to become a National Board Certified Teacher in Social Studies.
