I am a dedicated educational administrator and communications professional with 16 years experience in K-12 and college/university contexts. A Gates Millennium Scholar, I earned my B.A. in English (with a teaching certification) and M.S. in Curriculum and Instruction (focus in rhetoric and composition) from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. I have served in many different roles in education including tutor, writing consultant, researcher, instructor, academic advisor, academic coach, compliance investigator, coordinator, and director. I have worked with TRIO students and was accepted to several Ivy League universities when applying for graduate school.
