Faculty

I am a Dallas, Texas native that proudly received a public school education through Dallas Independent School District. After receiving my high school diploma I went on to receive my Bachelors and Masters Degrees from Prairie View A&M University. My experiences as a student has been the driving force behind my passion to educate students.

I have served children in the public school system for 20 years as a teacher, administrator, and coordinator for parent partnerships. The journey has been rewarding and a great learning experience. The best thing about this profession is that even as adult educators we still remain students of our profession. As an administrator I have remained open to learning from the educators I come in contact with each day.

In my spare time I practice martial arts (Kung-Fu), read, play chess, fish with my father, shop with my mother, and enjoy time with my family at home. My family is a great support system and motivates me to always grow in my profession.
