About Me
I am a team-player and have worked within the international community for over 30 years.
I am the first of six children in my family to be born in America, the second to obtain a degree.
I am bilingual English/Spanish and have a good understanding of Swedish.
I have traveled extensively around the world and have resided in Sweden and The Netherlands.
I have two sons, Christian and Spencer, a large extended family, and a Yorkie named Nano.
I began a teaching career after having lived and travelled abroad for a number of years.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree from The University of Houston and obtained a Certification in Career and Technical Education from Texas A&M University at Prairie View.
I love working with kids. My hobbies include writing, video & photography, traveling, fishing, kayaking and camping in the wilderness.
I live in west Houston.
