I have been at DZ as a counselor for over 10 years. Before that, I was a 7th/8th grade science teacher for 6 years. I’m a Pasadena ISD graduate! I enjoy reading, naps, and spending time with my family & dogs.

This is my second year at DZ as a counselor and third year as a counselor overall. While pursuing counseling, I was a 6th grade teacher in Pasadena ISD for 10 years teaching reading and social studies. Prior to becoming a teacher, I worked in the ACE program in Alvin ISD, and then as a CIS campus coordinator in PISD for 2 years. I enjoy reading, being outside, working out, and spending time with my family & friends.
