IDEA Bluff Springs

I earned my Bachelor’s in Education from St. Edward’s University in 1995 and later pursued a Master’s in Educational Leadership from Lamar University in 2012. My journey in education spans over a decade, beginning in Austin ISD where I spent six enriching years teaching 2nd and 3rd grade students. Following this, I transitioned to the role of a reading specialist at Langford Elementary, dedicating another six years to honing my expertise in literacy intervention. Afterward, I eagerly accepted the role of District Literacy Specialist, where I spent four years collaborating closely with thirteen elementary schools across Austin ISD to enhance literacy initiatives. Driven by a desire for new challenges and opportunities for impact, I transitioned to IDEA, where I've devoted the last eight years to IDEA Bluff Springs Academy, initially serving as the Assistant Principal of Instruction and now proudly holding the position of Principal.
