During my undergraduate degree, I studied Biology at Texas A&M and later at the University of Texas-Pan American to work for a forensics laboratory. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology but quickly pivoted to studying English Literature in a Master's Program at the University of Texas - Rio Grande Valley. Since that change in studies, I have found my passion in English Literature. I have worked as an AP English Literature instructor for six years and an OnRamps Dual Enrollment English Instructor for the past three years. I have been an AP reader for AP English Literature for the past three years, and I have moved from an 'acorn' to a full rater by reviewing all FRQ questions. I am eager to help students prepare for the AP Test and see student growth in their writing.

My interests include reading, writing short fiction stories, and making the perfect latte! I am interested in contemporary fiction, and poetry, Star Wars, Marvel, and reading graphic novels when I can!
