With over 21 years in public and private education, I have witnessed the transformative power of learning. My journey began as a teacher in North Carolina, Colombia, and Northern Virginia, where I learned how diverse backgrounds enrich the educational experience. This inspired me to seek an international teaching opportunity at Shanghai American School, further deepening my commitment to creating an inclusive environment for all students.

I believe that educational growth is essential for a thriving society, and my mission is to foster a culture of excellence where everyone feels accepted and valued. I focus on guiding learners to become compassionate and capable individuals, ensuring that student success is at the heart of everything we do.

In 2017, I transitioned into instructional coaching and subsequently served as Assistant Principal at Montclair Elementary and Principal at Williams Elementary. Now, as I enter my second year as Principal at Spring Creek Elementary and my 16th year with Garland ISD, I am excited to continue sharing my insights and experiences with our vibrant community.

Outside of my professional journey, I am blessed with a loving husband, Fernando, and two wonderful daughters, Chelsea and Maria. I also cherish my role as a grandmother to Matteo and Lorenzo. Leading Spring Creek Elementary is an honor, and I am dedicated to fostering a nurturing environment where every student can thrive and make a positive impact on the world. Together, let’s create an inspiring space for all.
