This is my third year as Assistant Principal at Best, and I’ve been “Alief Proud” for 19 years! I started my career in education at Mahanay Elementary. I had the wonderful opportunity to teach 2nd through 4th grade. I learned a great deal about impactful instruction and building meaningful relationships with students and teachers. In 2014, I transferred to Best to become the REID Specialist. During my 4 years as the REID Specialist, I collaborated with content specialists, interventionists, and administrators in creating success plans for students in grades pre-kindergarten to fourth grade. My time as the REID Specialist taught me the importance of collaboration with various stake-holders to achieve a common goal, student achievement. Now as an administrator I am using all of the skills that I have acquired as a teacher and an instructional campus leader to create a learning environment in which students and teachers can reach their full potential. I am excited about this new position and I am looking forward to a great year!

I was born and raised in Falfurrias, Texas. After graduation, I went to St. Mary’s University in San Antonio for three semesters before transferring to Texas A&M University. I graduated from Texas A&M University in 2002 and started my teaching career in Waller ISD. I spent the next 12 years teaching in Spring Branch ISD. I decided it was time to join the Alief family and have loved every minute of it!! I am a member of the Breeders Greeters Committee that serves the Houston Rodeo and Livestock Show. My husband Rusty and I enjoy taking our dog Shadow on walks and to the dog park. I enjoy staying active, Aggie football, and the Astros!
