Bio
I was born and raised in Mexico City. At the age of 17, my family decided to move to San Antonio Texas, so that my sisters and I could pursue an education in the United States. My oldest sister is a nurse and has two sons. My younger sister is a dentist and has one daughter. I attended San Antonio College and later transferred to The University of Texas at San Antonio. I received my B.A. in Bilingual/Bicultural Studies with a certification in EC-8 Bilingual/ESL in 1997 and later an M.A in Bilingual/Bicultural Studies from the University of Texas at San Antonio in 2000. I have worked in the public school system as a teacher for 25 years, in three different school districts and had the opportunity to teach from kindergarten thru 6th grade. I started working at UTSA summer of 2022 as an Instructor in the BBL department and as a supervisor of clinical teachers. My husband and I have been married for 26 years and have two wonderful children. Our family enjoys traveling and playing board games. I also enjoy gardening and reading.
