I am originally from Texas, where I grew up and got my Bachelors in Mathematics. Hook ’em Horns! Then I taught in Grandview while completing my Masters in Education, appreciating every second I got to explore with my students the creative and dynamic nature of mathematics. I love to hike and will always appreciate a good recommendation!

Besides getting to hang out with teenagers while empowering them to cultivate their artistic voice by making imagery that celebrates their identity and promotes social activism, I dig: SUP, karaoke, live shows, true crime podcasts/shows, exploring the PNW, and lazy Sunday mornings.
