I joined the United Independent School District in August 2011. I taught for two years at the middle school level, which gave me an opportunity to teach beyond my course content in areas such as Creative Writing, STAAR Reading 6th, and STAAR Reading 8th, along with Spanish 1 classes. At United South High School, I have had the pleasure of teaching Spanish levels 1 through 4, and I am privileged to serve as the Foreign Language Department Chair. I also serve as the sponsor for the Spanish Club and Students Helping Other People (SHOP); the later that hosts our student pantry, La Alacena. 

Prior to working with the United Independent School District, I held various positions at Texas A&M International University over the span of 12 years. In later years, serving as the Director for the Texas Pre-freshman Engineering Program (TexPREP) and as Program Coordinator for Bridge to Success and Children Summer Camps under the direction of Dr. Julio F. Madrigal.  I worked as an Educational Consultant with Cambridge Educational Services to provide PSAT/SAT preparation courses in Laredo serving local high schools. For the past two years, I have had the privilege of working with ETS to grade the AP Spanish Language and Culture Examination, which has provided me a greater insight into AP testing, an experience that enables me to apply my learned knowledge to my teaching.
