My name is Mrs. Valdez. I’ve taught English at all levels for nearly 20 years (Masters in Education), and I thoroughly enjoy working with a diverse group of students. I enjoy camping, cooking (especially BBQing--trying to perfect that brisket :-) and learning to sew. I’m currently working on a new quilt and take classes on Saturdays to work on my skills. I’m a voracious reader and enjoy marathons--especially “NCIS,” “The Big Bang Theory,” or any TV marathons. 😂 I married my high school sweetheart several decades ago. We have three grown children and a bonus grandson.

My motto: “No one cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.”
