Currently, I am the ResidencyCoordinator/Clinical Assistant Professor in the Educator Cafe Program. I have served as an adjunct teaching Curriculum and Instruction courses, a Lecturer and Teaching Specialist in the Educator Preparation Program EPP and a Jag Tracks instructor. Prior to working at Texas A & M University-San Antonio, I spent over 30 years as a Science Teacher and Instructional Facilitator for schools throughout Texas. I hold a Bachelors in Education Kinesiology/Biology and a Masters of Education in Curriculum and Instruction.
My philosophy of education and learning is to provide all students the opportunity to grow academically, personally, and professionally. It is my job to provide students a quality education and provide them with the tools necessary to succeed in life and as a professional educator. I am all about establishing a positive and respectful relationship with my students by being open, honest, trusting, and caring. All students have the ability to learn and the right to quality education. I understand the diverse student backgrounds of the TAMUSA community. I take into consideration the students needs, pressures first-generation, and non-traditional students encounter. Most importantly, I work to establish a relationship with my students that is supportive and meets their needs.
My scholarly interest includes Advocacy for Pre-Service Teachers and First Year Teachers,Teacher Preparation,Teacher Residency, Teacher Retention, Pathways to Certification,Curriculum Design, Lesson Planning, Classroom Management, Methods in Teaching, Social and Emotional Well Being in Teachers and Students.
