I am originally from Edinburg, Texas, located in the Rio Grande Valley and moved to Plano after graduating from the University of North Texas with my degree in Music Education. I reside in Planowith my husband, my dachshund, Sir Winston and two children Alana (3) and Andres (1).  In my free time, when I am not singing, teaching, or spending time with family, I enjoy reading, yoga, cycling & cooking. I am currently working on obtaining my Master's at UNT. 

I graduated in 2005 with a double degree in Vocal Performance & Music Education from the University of North Texas. This is my 17th year teaching choir and my 11th year teaching at Otto since the school opened. I am passionate about working with middle school students because it is so rewarding to see them grow as musicians and as young adults who take risks and challenge themselves. I am particularly excited to see ALL students face to face- to get to know them, to see their faces, hear their voices and welcome them to choir.
