Hello there! Thank you for visiting my page!
I am a teacher who followed in the footsteps of teachers in my family. I have served as an educator in my home state of New Mexico since 2014, and I am currently an MLSS (Multi-Layered Systems of Support) Resource Teacher for the Albuquerque Public Schools district. During my 10 years as classroom teacher and reading interventionist, I devoted myself to ensuring that my students knew they were loved and that they loved school. I believe school should be a place of excitement and learning, not one without the other. Through positive teacher/student relationships and by applying best practices I learned from professional development, I gave my students the most engaging, fun, and meaning learning experiences I could give.
I am the author of the book A Place They Love: Creating a Healthy School Culture and Positively Impacting Students, published in 2022 by EduMatch Publishing. In 2024, I self-published Stories in My Scars: Poems. I am host of the retired podcast, The Shut Up and Teach Podcast.
I love to read, write, listen to and create music, and hang out with my cat, Nala.
