My journey to becoming a science teacher began at the University of Houston, Main Campus, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Community Health in 2004.
Several years later, I completed an alternative certification program to become a classroom teacher. In 2011, I was offered my first middle school science teaching position, and I am now entering my 15th year as a middle school science educator.
I have taught students in grades 6 through 8 throughout my years as a classroom teacher. I believe students learn in different ways, so I use varied instructional strategies, questioning, resources, and hands-on activities to help each student master the content. I also make student interaction a central part of every class session.
I have been honored with several accomplishments, including being named Teacher of the Year for 2024–2025 and receiving a Certificate of Leadership Award from my previous campus. While I value this recognition, my greatest accomplishment is seeing my students excel, grow academically, and return with meaningful memories from the time they spent in my classroom.
