Administration

As Director of the Design and Technology Academy (DATA), I am passionate about preparing students for success through innovation, creativity, and real-world learning experiences. My background in engineering, technology, and education has shaped my belief that students learn best when they are challenged to think critically, solve problems, and apply their knowledge in meaningful ways.

Before beginning my career in education, I spent ten years working in civil engineering. I later transitioned into the classroom, where I taught middle school math and science before specializing in technology education. Throughout my teaching career, I have had the opportunity to teach courses including audiovisual production, photography, graphic design, engineering, architecture, robotics, yearbook, and web design.

Since joining North East ISD, I have served as a classroom teacher and campus administrator, experiences that have strengthened my commitment to student-centered learning and instructional excellence. I also enjoy teaching film courses as an adjunct professor at Northwest Vista College, where I continue sharing my passion for media and technology with the next generation of creators.

As a proud Madison High School graduate and parent, I understand the impact that dedicated educators and strong school communities have on students' lives. I am honored to serve the DATA community and look forward to helping students explore their passions while preparing them for college, careers, and future opportunities.
