This is my third year teaching at John Rex Charter School! Before teaching first grade at John Rex, I taught second and third grades in Albuquerque, gifted/talented kindergarten in Houston, and second grade in Edmond.
I graduated from the University of New Mexico with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. I've been married for 22 years and we have three sons; one in college, one in high school and one in middle school. I have a passion for early childhood education and I am doing my heart's work as a teacher. |
