How long have you been at Royal? This will be my first year.
What's your "why"? Royal is very important to me in many aspects. Not only did I grow up here but the culture in Royal/Brookshire is unmatchable, you seem to find this sense of comfort in the community and the people. You might leave but you will never forget or you will always come back to Royal and have that comfy home feeling.
How do you contribute to the district mission statement of "investing in our tomorrow"? I try to contribute in giving it my all and trying to help out and be someone in Royal. You don't touch lives unless you get to know them.
Favorite quote: Hard work beats talent. When talent doesn't do the job, work hard.
What are 1-2 goals you would like to achieve during the 2023-2024 school year? My goals are 1. Be a teacher students can come to and feel safe with but also them knowing to respect me; and 2. Give the best out of myself that I can give.
What do you enjoy doing when you are not working? I love to pamper myself either doing my makeup or doing my hair or my nails, but when I have free time to myself I like to catch up on self-care.
