          Math 
My students have enjoyed great success on the local and National level pursuing
Math/Science projects. My first STEM Team was a group of 3rd graders and were
recognized nationally by the Toshiba Explora Vision Competitive program of young
inventors. My second grade class was recognized as an outstanding participant in a                                 
Technology and Poetry Design Contest. Two of my 2nd grade students                                                                      were honored as the State and National 1st Place winners! I have coached STEM Teams ranging
from 2nd to 6th grade. I also participated in the first Region One/ UTPA STEM Teachers
Collaboration Project presenting a STEM Fair to the City Of Pharr Commissioners and
community. I had been an active participant in the HESTEC Educator's Roundtable since
2006. Many of my 4th grade students were invited to participate in HESTEC/NASA projects
at the University of Texas -Pan American. I was recognized as the HESTEC Educator of the
Year by the Monitor and HESTEC for promoting a STEM based essay contest.
I also enjoy writing and have been blessed with
 winning several awards in feature and
