I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. I attended the Houston Independent School District. After completing my education degree from Sam Houston State University, I began my teaching career in the Spring Branch School District as a substitute teacher. The following year, I moved to Center, Texas and took a position there first as a kindergarten teacher, then as a fifth grade teacher while also serving as the high school drill team director. Upon moving back to my hometown of Houston, I began teaching in the Spring Independent School District as a second grade teacher for two years and a fourth grade teacher for three years. I was very fortunate to move to the Klein Independent School District in 1989. At that time, I taught second grade at Haude Elementary. The following year I had my second child and took some time off. I did return later that year to teach third grade. The next year I taught fifth grade at Haude. Then in 1992, I became the assistant principal at Haude. I served in that position for ten years. They were all wonderful experiences providing me with an opportunity to work with various grade levels.
I was very fortunate to have served as the principal of Roth Elementary for 3 ˝ years. I moved over to the Klein Instructional Center in January to begin planning for Benignus. An elementary school is a focal point in a community, and my goal is to work with the students, teachers, and parents with the utmost integrity. The elementary years are extremely important in a child’s development. Knowledge and social skills are formed at this young age, and it is our responsibility to be excellent teachers and role models for children. Memories are made during this time that will be valuable for a lifetime.
I invite parents and community members to volunteer or just come by Benignus to see the outstanding group of educators serving your children. I know you will feel the sense of warmth and determination displayed by everyone on our staff to develop our Benignus Leopards into successful, happy, loving people.
