About Me

My photo
I've been married to my husband, Michael, for almost 25 years. I'm a mom to a biological son and an adopted son from Colombia, and I'm also a spiritual mom to my adopted son's older brother, who I claim as a son in my heart. I'm bilingual and love to work with and relate to Spanish-speaking children and families. I've been a teacher to students from all sorts of backgrounds and cultures for the last 20+ years. I'm also an author and a certified Biblical counselor. I'm in a new empty nest season in a new location far from where I raised my boys, so I'm definitely in a stage of rediscovering myself, my interests, and my purpose.

Fresh opportunity ahead


Fresh Opportunity Ahead


One last summer morning,

Soaking up nature all around.

Slowly sipping coffee on the porch

and the peace that I have found.


There's nothing like a summer reset

to reflect, recharge, and renew,

To redirect our focus,

and take vacations long overdue.


To gather new ideas

and let creative juices flow,

To pursue more education,

continuing to learn and grow.


To reignite a fire

For guiding others as they learn,

To get to mold young minds toward greatness

Makes a passion within me burn.


I look forward to a new year

and can hardly wait to meet tonight

The students God placed in my classroom

to whom I am to be a light.


I've already started to pray for them

Lifting up one student each day

Committed to seeing them shine

in both an academic and emotional way.


Challenges await us all

But I know God will see us through.

I pray to see them as opportunities

to always learn something new.
