About Me

I’m back and excited to begin another year with FSHISD’s Military School Districts’ Cooperative family.  I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York.  I obtained a B.A. in Political Science from Long Island University, Brooklyn Campus.  During my studies, I worked as a peer-counselor and math tutor to incoming freshmen on campus.  Upon graduation, I was accepted to the New York City Teaching Fellows Program.  I began my teaching career in 2003.  In 2005, I obtained an M.S. in Special Education.  I was committed to understanding and addressing the social-emotional needs of my students, so I returned to school to study school counseling, and received an M.S. in School Counseling in 2011.  I worked for the New York City Department of Education for 18 years in various special education roles.  I moved to SATX in 2021.  I am patient, open-minded, and love seeing my students reach their true educational potential.  I look forward to another great school year!
