Hello panthers,

I would like to welcome you back with great pleasure to this school year. 

I am the Special Education teacher and I teach Resource Math. This is my 21st year in education. Over two decades at SMS, I have had the opportunity to impact students’ lives as a teacher assistant, teacher, and assistant team leader.

I received my bachelor’s degree in Sociology. Additionally, I am certified in Special Education K-12 and science 4-8. I have been fortunate to receive the PISD Superintendent Award (2006), Teacher of the Year (2007 & 2014), Schimelpfenig Caring Heart Award (2015), and TASH International Education Award (2019). Outside of my academic career, I enjoy reading, gardening, cooking, and spending time with my family.

I look forward to getting to know all of you this school year.
