I have been working in Northside ISD since the beginning of my educational career serving Northside ISD for sixteen years. I taught special education students for five years and then went into administration. I started my administrative career at Pease MS and then opened Hector Garcia MS in 2009-2010. October 2015 I worked as a Hearing Officer at Pupil Personnel for three and half years before transitioning to Vale MS. I am now home and happy to be a Stingray!
