About Me
- I hold a bachelor's degree in biomedical sciences from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi and a master's degree in secondary science education from Western Governors University. I have taught science and special education at the high school level for 8 years. I am currently the lead special education teacher at RFHS and department head for special education, fine arts, and foreign language. With the help of Mrs. Shindler, I run the Help Center where students can come for extra help and support on their assignments.
- I am originally from Victoria but now call Ingleside home. I have 2 awesome kids who keep me busy. I run a small business with my kids selling Italian ice. I am looking forward to another great year at RFHS!
