Before coming to IDEA Public Schools, I worked for the Brownsville Independent School District for 20 years as a Teacher Assistant, Counselors Secretary, Registrar Clerk, and Administrative Assistant. My journey with IDEA started in 2008 as part of the administrative team. I started working in the role of Director of Operations at IDEA Frontier after graduating in 2007. I have also worked as a Regional Director of Operations at IDEA's Headquarters office.
I love what I do. I believe in Family, Faith, and Education. I am so blessed to be part of a team and family that believes that every student deserves a shot at success in college and in life, and to be successful, you need a great education. Together, we achieve making the dream realistic of getting families children to and through college.
