Sixth Grade Academy/Pojoaque Middle School

As a proud parent and now grandparent of Pojoaque Valley Schools, I have dedicated over 25 years to the district. During that time, I became an employee of the district, starting as an Instructional Assistant, and then becoming a sixth-grade teacher. I transitioned to middle school where I spent five years teaching math and AVID. For the last 11 years, I taught math, Financial Literacy, and AP Computer Science at the high school, where I also served as head of the math department. Additionally, I have worked with NMPED as a curriculum reviewer. This year, I’ve transitioned back to Pojoaque Valley Middle School to complete my internship with Mr. Vigil, and I can honestly say there is no place I would rather be. I earned my bachelor's degree from Northern New Mexico College and will complete my Master of Arts in Educational Administration from Eastern New Mexico University in May 2025. I have enjoyed my first experience in administration at Pojoaque Valley Middle School while strengthening my leadership skills. My goal is to continue mentoring and guiding teachers and students, ensuring effective communication, accessibility, and a safe, student-centered environment. It is an honor to work with the wonderful teachers, staff, students, and families of Pojoaque Valley Middle School and I look forward to watching the children from our valley grow into productive and successful members of our community.
