About Me
I am a University of Texas (Austin), UTeach alumnus - which is a nationally recognized and replicated Science and Math teaching program across the United States. My student teaching experience provided opportunities to teach 5th - 12th grade.
I left the classroom for 5 years to explore other areas in education. I served as AISD's high school science instructional specialist for 3 years. In that role I provided pedagogical support, as well as content specific professional development, to secondary science teachers. Then I switched over to an assisitant principal role for 2 years (here at Lanier). After teaching a 90-minute lesson for a teacher that was out, I realized that I truly missed the interactions with students in the classroom. Therefore, I made a decision to "step down" from my AP role and now serve Lanier as a teacher / instructional coach.
