As a mathematics teacher during the 2011-2012 school year, I was awarded "Campus Teacher of the Year" and advanced on to compete for the district title. On April 5, 2012, I was awarded "Fort Worth Independent School District (FWISD) Secondary Teacher of the Year" and continue to provide professional development to both new and veteran teachers. My focus has always been to help educators cope effectively within their stressful environments, with my main objective centering the idea of leadership development within the health and wellness realm as the essential component to any successful organization.  I have created and organized the Successful Health Awareness Fueling Teachers at Morningside Middle School (#SHAFTMMS) program designed to help faculty and staff learn how to manage stress, develop good health and wellness habits and create an environment that is fun and safe to work within.
