I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I started my career working on the Mother/Baby unit at Seton Medical Center. Over the course of my 7 years there, I also became a breastfeeding educator. After staying home with my children for several years, I then transitioned to working in an OB/GYN office setting. I am married with three children, a 9 year old and 6 year old twins. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and listening to music. I am looking forward to my new role at Camino Real Elementary!

Me gradué de la Universidad de Texas en Austin con una Licenciatura en Ciencias de Enfermería. Comencé mi carrera trabajando en la unidad Madre/Bebé del Centro Médico Seton. Durante mis 7 años allí, también me convertí en educadora sobre lactancia materna. Después de quedarme en casa con mis hijos durante varios años, hice la transición a trabajar en un consultorio de obstetricia y ginecología. Estoy casado y tengo tres hijos, uno gemelo de 9 años y 6 años. En mi tiempo libre disfruto pasar tiempo con mi familia y escuchar música. ¡Estoy deseando asumir mi nuevo puesto en la Primaria Camino Real!

Each year we have school wide vision and hearing screenings for PreK, Kinder, 1st, 3rd, 5th as well as students that need a screen for other reasons.
