I grew up in Garceño, Texas. I attended school at Roma ISD and graduated from Roma High School in the year 2000.  I attended UTRGV in Edinburg, Texas and obtained a bachelor's degree in Bilingual Elementary Education (Cum Laude).  I began teaching at R.T. Barrera in 2004.  I taught 2nd grade for two years.  Then I taught 3rd grade for eight years. I am currently a 4th grade teacher and this will be my ninth year teaching 4th grade.  Overall, I have 19 years of teaching experience.  My goal is to instill in my students a love of learning through inspiring, encouraging, and promoting a safe and positive environment.
