It is a pleasure to be serving the students, staff and parents of both Boulevard Heights School and the Transition Center Programs as Principal. I have been serving the students of FWISD since 1999. Before coming to FWISD, I served as a high school resource teacher at Dumas ISD in Dumas, TX. I began my career in FWISD as an elementary self-contained special education teacher at Boulevard Heights in the fall of 1999. After serving in this capacity, I was moved out of the classroom into a consulting role where I served all of FWISD consulting on behaviors, instruction, classroom structure, etc. in special education classrooms. After providing consultative services for 6 years, I became the Teacher/Coordinator for the Transition Center LIFT Program located in the Administration Building. I served in this capacity for 3 years before becoming the Assistant Principal for BHS and the TC Programs. I served the programs as assistant principal for 7 years before being promoted to the principalship. I received my BS in Interdisciplinary Studies with an emphasis in Special Education from West Texas A&M University, my MEd in Educational Leadership from Texas Woman’s University, and my PhD in Special Education from the College of Professional Education at Texas Woman’s University. I believe that every student has within them the capacity to learn, grow and develop when provided an appropriately tailored instructional learning environment.
