Teacher Information

I have been teaching since 2014. This is my first year with Pflugerville ISD. I have previously taught 5th grade math, 6th grade math, 5th grade Arts and Technology, and 6th Grade Computer Applications.

Before I became a teacher, I worked as a graphic designer, illustrator, and video editor. My goal is to help students see how the skills they learn in the classroom can be applied to their future successes.
