About
My extensive education in Psychology and Education include a Bachelor of Arts degree from Texas A&M University, a Masters in Education from The University of St. Thomas and I am currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Psychology from The University of Houston Clear Lake, where I am currently maintaining a 4.0 GPA. Additionally, I am certified, by the State of Texas, to teach Early Childhood through Fourth Grade Bilingual and ESL. My broad teaching experience ranges from Pre-K through middle school, high school and even adults. Additionally, I have a great deal of experience in counseling and the mental health field, including working as a caseworker for Children's Protective Services, an Adolescent Counselor, HIV counselor, as well as a Mental Health Technician at a local Psychiatric Hospital. My bilingual skills, in both English and Spanish have proven to be quite an asset to my career choices.
