I am very excited and proud to serve the J.P. Elder community. 

I was born and raised in the Stop Six area of Fort Worth and I am a product of FWISD schools. 

I received my undergraduate and graduate degrees from Texas Tech University. I have been an educator with FWISD since 2013, first as a Science teacher at Middle Level Learning Center and then as a Science teacher and Science Department Chair at Rosemont Middle School.

When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling and weightlifting. I am married with four adult children and three grandchildren.

 Oprah Winfrey once said, "You have to know what sparks the light in you so that you, in your own way, can illuminate the world." I hope to inspire students to find their passions so they too can, “Illuminate the world.”
