Hey Panthers,

Welcome to the Visual Arts department.  I'm the Visual Art teacher at South Early College.

Allow me to provide you with some background information about myself: I was born in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Notably, I am the sole faculty member at this campus who has graduated from an Early College institution, namely Challenge Early College. Furthermore, I hold two undergraduate degrees from the University of Houston, encompassing a BA in History and a BA in Art History.

My tenure with HISD commenced in the fall of 2011, and although I briefly pursued a position as an Academic Adviser at Lone Star College, I returned to teaching art when South Early College opened its doors at our present location. Beyond the confines of the classroom, my personal artistic focus leans more toward photography than the traditional forms we explore in our academic curriculum. Additionally, I possess a deep fondness for traveling, reading, and frequenting art galleries. I am genuinely excited to accompany you on your artistic and academic journey.

Should you need to contact me, please refer to the following details:
