Hello everyone!

I am so excited for the 2022-2023 school year at Sanchez Elementary.  

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE BSE and all of our staff and students!

It is truly an honor to be your child's counselor!

This is my 20th year in Alvin ISD and my sixth year as a professional school counselor. Previously, I was a counselor at Fairview Junior High and, prior to that, I was a Literacy Coach and ELA teacher in Alvin ISD. 

I have a Master's Degree in School Counseling from the University of St. Thomas.  A Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from Eastern New Mexico University and an Associate's degree in general studies from Alvin Community College. I am also a graduate of Alvin High School...Jacket Pride Never Dies!

I have three beautiful children who are the light of my life!  I enjoy spending time with family, reading, baking and, of course, COUNSELING!

It is an honor to have the opportunity to work with the students, families and staff of Sanchez Elementary!

It's going to be a great year!

If I can leave you with anything, please know that I am here for your children as well as you.  Please don't hesitate to reach out if there is anything I can do to help!

God Bless!
