As someone new to the role of President, my biggest goal is to improve my skills and knowledge in the position. I aim to be a bridge between membership and leadership so we can work together better. I have served in several association roles across several levels, but my priority is to help make HEA stronger. HEA is not leadership or rep council alone, but the membership as a whole.
Another goal is to get to know more of our members from across the district. Teaching experience: certified in k-12 Spanish and TESOL. I taught middle and high school Spanish in three central Ohio districts before moving to Texas. I taught a 1-2 bilingual split in Houston ISD where I was certified in bilingual elementary education.
