As a native of El Paso, Texas, I attended several elementary schools in El Paso ISD, graduating from Burges High School. I attended Texas Western College (UTEP) receiving a B.S. Education in Secondary Education, and a Master of Business Education degree from West Texas A&M University (Canyon, Texas).

With 32 years as a high school teacher, my teaching career began in 1968 as a business teacher, and continued for the next 30 years at the same high school. Instruction evolved from teaching typing (manual/electric typewriter) and bookkeeping into computerized accounting, microcomputer applications (keyboarding - word processing - spreadsheet - database), BASIC, COBOL, AP Computer Science, and HTML programming. I then worked with the Alternative Certification Program in the College of Education (UTEP) as a Secondary Consultant.

I am currently serving as the Technical Site Coordinator for most of the Franklin attendance area, consisting of one high school (Franklin HS), two middle schools (Brown and Hornedo MS), and six elementary schools (Guerrero, Kohlberg, Lundy, Polk, Roberts, and Tippin).
