I am first a mom and wife, then a teacher!
The few minutes left in the day after that are for
my favorite pastimes!
Personal
I have two beautiful girls in elementary school and a husband of
19 years.
I was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Right after I
graduated from high school I moved to Las Cruces to attend New Mexico State
University and decided to make this town my home.
Professional
Educator
-
I have taught in the Las Cruces Public Schools District for 20 years. In
20 years I have been very fortunate to have enjoyed experiencing Learning
Disabilities, and Behavioral Disorders.
-
I also experienced being an elementary School Principal during my 20 year
adventure in education.
-
I have been teaching in the regular classroom for the last ten years as
a third grade teacher and most recently as a Multi-Age Teacher of 3rd,
4th, and 5th grade students in one classroom for a three year cycle. I
have now gone full circle in 20 years!
-
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary and Special Education, and a Master's
Degree in Special Education and Educational Management, and an Administrative
Certificate.
Special Projects
-
In the last two years I have been involved with some technology projects
that have completely changed the way I have been teaching. One project
that started it all was The US WEST grant that introduced me to technology!
-
I was then selected to do some Technology Training for the the state in
the RETA project which made me grow professionally! This training was for
teachers to train teachers in the use of technology.
-
And last but not least, is the Seeds of Change and the Digital Desert Library
Project which will allow me to facilitate a project to have a Nature Desert
Walk at our school!
