What drew you to CIS? CIS aligns with my passion to serve the youth, eradicating barriers and ensuring each student reaches their highest potential. CIS is a unique organization filled with like-minded individuals who are doing transformational work every day for our students across the state. I appreciate the CIS Model and believe it is an effective way to ensure our youth are receiving the essential resources/services to ensure present and future achievement.
Favorite class in school growing up? Spanish! While I am not a fluent Spanish speaker, my teacher was excellent. She was more than just an educator. She went above and beyond to ensure that each of her students felt supported and exceeded academically and personally; beyond her high school classroom.
Best thing about summer? Beach getaways.
Favorite pastime?
Traveling and writing.
Favorite food? Mexican.
