I began teaching at AC Jones High School in 2013.  This is my 8th year at AC Jones High School.  Currently I am teaching Art-1, Art II (Drawing, Painting & Sculpture) and Art III (Drawing, Painting & Sculpture).

I began teaching in 1993 and have taught Art, Art Therapy, Spanish, ESL and Bilingual Education.  I have taught all levels through-out South, Texas.  Before coming to Beeville ISD I was teaching Art I, II, III & IV & Visual Perception/Film in Art grade levels 7-12 in Odem, Texas.  I also sponsored the High School Art Club.  I have taught in private and public schools as well as college level courses.  From 2001-2006 I was the Student Life Coordinator for Housing & Activities at Coastal Bend College  I have also worked as an Education Specialist, Social Worker & as a Freelance Artist and taught Art Therapy workshops for the Joe Barnhart Art Museum in Beeville, Texas.  Since 1992 I have worked as a professional artist, commerical artist and muralist for various clients in the states of Nevada and Texas.  I have also had some art exhibits in the state of Texas, some solo and some with other artists.  For the past two years I have worked with some of our Special Needs students providing an art therapy/art enrichment class.

Me and my family are natives of South, Texas.  We have homes in Mathis and Corpus Christi.  My family enjoys the outdoors, family get-togethers, traveling, waterparks and we have two dogs, Auggie and Jack.  Our boys enjoy sports and play a variety of sports but mostly enjoy football.  My folks are both retired and my older brother is an educator and holds his doctorate in educational leadership.  He is an administrator in special education. 

We are proud Texans and love our state and communities.

Some of hobbies include, art, reading, writing, traveling, camping, visiting theme parks with my family.  I also like to spend quality time with my family at home, watching movies, having BBQ’s and bike riding.  One of our favorite things to do is visiting my brother’s lakehouse where we enjoy cooking and playing board games.
