I build engaging elementary classrooms that support academic and social-emotional growth.

I'm currently teaching first grade at J.C. Thompson Elementary, where I plan engaging lessons, tell memorable stories, and communicate regularly with families and administrators.

Previously, I taught second grade at Juan Seguin Elementary, leading PBIS and Culture and Climate committees and contributing to the WISD Elementary Literacy Committee. I've also taught kindergarten in a Title I school, supported virtual and in-person learning, and developed science instruction as a student teacher.
