Biography

Bio

Grand Prairie ISD has been my home for 25 years.  As a teacher, GT specialist, and administrator in the district, I have had the privilege to serve many students and families.  I received by Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education degree from Cameron University.  My gifted and talented endorsement was received from Southern Methodist University and my Master of Education in Administration was achieved through Lamar University.

 

For the last 17 years, I have dedicated my career to creating innovative programs, fostering academic excellence, and supporting the social-emotional needs of gifted students. My passion reflects my commitment to ensuring that gifted individuals thrive both inside and outside the classroom.

 

Beyond school, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two children, decorating and planning events, and taking early morning walks.
