I have been teaching Bilingual Elementary in the DFW area for 18 years. This will be my sixth at Hicks, all this time in 4th grade.

I grew up in northern Mexico. I went to college at Universidad de Monterrey (UDEM) in Monterrey, N.L., Mexico, and obtained a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science. 

My parents and two brothers live in Mission, TX. We love to go to South Padre Island every time we visit south Texas.

Teaching Spanish is what I love to do, and being a mom of two daughters is my life. In my free time, I like to read, decorate the house, go shopping, try a new recipe, ride a bicycle with the girls and watch movies. I have been married for 17 years to my wonderful husband, David. We have two daughters. Vanessa, going into 7th grade, and Grace, going to 4th at Castle Hills Elementary. Both play the piano, and also play in hockey leagues. Grace plays volleyball too, with her friends from school. You will find me during the weekend going to games all the time. 

I'm very excited about starting this new school year!  Can't wait to meet you all!
