A little about myself.  I am a 1990 graduate of UT-Pan American in Edinburg, Texas.  I received a BS degree in Psychology, with a minor in Sociology.  I worked as a social worker for six years before I became a teacher.  In 2000, after staying home for four years to be a full-time mom, I received my teaching and bilingual certification.

This will be my 22nd year in teaching, and I have loved every minute of it.  I have taught music, kindergarten, third, fourth, and fifth grade.  My experience with struggling students led to a passion for students with dyslexia.  My search to understand and help this population of students led me to pursue and obtain a Masters of Education in Advanced Literacy from Concordia University in Austin, and a certificate as a Reading Specialist.  I also completed a Dyslexia Therapist training program through the Scottish Rite Learning Center of South Texas and have earned the title of Dyslexia Therapist.  I also recently became a Certified Academic Language Therapist (CALT) and am now a member of the Academic Language Therapy Association (ALTA).

I take great pride in serving and advocating for dyslexia students.  I am proud to work for Judson ISD, and I believe that no district does more for students with dyslexia.
