Personal: I was born and raised in Texas. I attended Catholic schools from Pre-K through 12th grade. After high school, I attended UTA from 2013-2019 where I graduated with both my Bachelors and Masters degrees. When I'm not in the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, playing with my dogs and my cat, reading, photography, and yoga. It is a goal of mine to attempt to visit every National Park at some point and also travel to Poland to see where my family came from. 
 
Philosophy of Education: I believe it is the job of an educator to provide students with ample amounts of opportunities to be victorious in any aspect of their life: educationally, emotionally, socially, morally, and spiritually. 
 
Mission Statement: My mission is to create a positive, safe, and fair environment free of judgement where every student feels listened to and loved. I will make sure that each and everyone of my students are given the care they need to be successful and cultivate a sense of understanding and responsibility to become vital members of their community.
