The Soul of Little Dove
I am a proud mother of four wonderful children—Josh, Nadia, Karli, and Julianna—whose ages range from 19 to 8 years old. My husband and I have been happily married for over 30 years, and together we’ve built a life rooted in love, faith, and family.
​
Born and raised in San Antonio, I earned both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Texas at San Antonio. I began my journey in education in 1996 with Northside ISD, serving for 17 years in various roles. I spent over a decade as a Special Education teacher for Preschool Children with Disabilities at Westwood Terrace and Oak Hills Terrace Elementary Schools. I then transitioned to campus leadership, serving as the Special Education Coordinator at Lewis Elementary, followed by vice principal roles at Colby Glass and Judge Andy Mireles Elementary Schools.
​
My lifelong passion has been to nurture young children in a loving and enriching environment. Today, I am blessed to fulfill that calling through Little Dove Learning Center—where God has given my family and me the opportunity to support, guide, and grow alongside the families we serve.
