I started working at United South High School on September 11^th, 2011. I started teaching Geometry and Math TEKS for STAAR in the resource setting. Two years later, I started teaching Algebra I. I taught that for two years and then became an MLC teacher as well as the Department Head for Special Education. I have been in those current positions for five years, this being my sixth year.  I love that I do. Working with challenging students has been my passion. All students need some compassion and understanding and a lot of love! I thinking teaching at-risk students before coming to USHS at Premier High School helped me open their eyes and hearts and instill in them the belief that they too can learn just like everybody else. Once they taste success, everything changes and they become successful individuals with a drive to pursue their dreams.
