Hiya! I am your TCEA Area 1 Director and proudly serving you! I am an enthusiastic educator with 15 years of classroom experience in Pre-K through 3rd grade specializing in instructional technology. During my time as a classroom educator, I employed digital media and other current pedagogical strategies. I transitioned to a technology specialist position at the campus and then at the district level.  One focus was to update classroom strategies to include more critical thinking, collaboration, and active learning. I strive for the promotion of student creativity and increasing student voice within a learner-centered classroom addressing all learners’ needs.  Now, as a TAMIU College of Education faculty member, I am dedicated to promoting and improving the university’s overall mission and the mission of the COE to prepare our student teachers as certified and day 1 ready. My other research projects include the implementation of edTPA, collaboration with Raise Your Hands Texas, revising the Education Technology courses for the reactivated Master's of Curriculum and Instruction with a minor in Education Technology, and improving educator professional development. Our mission is to create productive students ready for successful teaching careers. We Teach Texas; We Teach Laredo! As your Area 1 Director, I am her to serve you to promote your professional growth for teaching, learning, leadership, and education technology. Let me know how I can serve your goals.
