This year I teach Graphic Design Illustration, and Digital Art Animation at Oak Ridge High School. I have been teaching at Oak Ridge since the fall of 2011. I am a fourth generation educator, and second generation CISD educator. I am an Adobe Certified Professional for the following software: Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects, InDesign, and Premier Pro. I currently hold the following Texas Educator Certificates: Technology Applications Grades (8-12), Business Education Grades (6-12) and Technology Education Grades (6-12). I earned my BBA in Accounting and completed my Post-Baccalaureate teacher education program at Sam Houston State University. Before becoming an educator, I have worked in the Business Process Outsourcing, Motor Fuel Distribution, Export Packing and Custom DNA/RNA Oligo synthesis industries. For me the greatest reward as a teacher is watching my student's growth. Not only their maturity but seeing their creative confidence and problem-solving skills blossom.

When I am not teaching, I have a passion for photography, wood working, outdoor activities, and spending time with my daughters.
