Meet your teacher:
I am a native El Pasoan and an Ex-Bassett Hound. I am a proud Austin Panther and UTEP graduate!. "Hey, hey look at the A" and picks up all the way!! As a single parent I worked as a party planner and caterer while attending UTEP. Pursuing a Bachelors in Psychology I did not start off intending to become a teacher. I did however, want to work in the social work field with children. In my final year of college I needed to find employment that had a much more flexible schedule and being a substitute seemed like the perfect solution to work when need be. As luck would have it, in October of that year I ended up being asked to be a long term sub and I stayed to the end of the year. Needless to say, teaching was a perfect fit for a budding Psychologist, and after graduation I went through a teachers certification program. So here I am in my sixth year back at my old alma mater the home of the mighty hounds.
