Shelley Suarez, our new Library Media Specialist (Librarian), is from South Austin, Texas and an alum of Crockett High School, graduating class of 1994. She grew up south of the river, has multiple certifications including EMT-B, Phlebotomy, Advanced Massage Therapy and certified LMT, Pre Med., Nursing (1 semester shy of a bachelor’s), and has several higher education degrees including a Bachelor’s in Business Administration in Accounting, a Master’s Degree in Education from The University of Texas in Curriculum and Instruction and a second Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership and Policy from The University of Texas, and both M. Ed. with a 100% average.
To continue her love of learning she became a newbie auto mechanic and also learned how to basic weld and do basic automotive electrical wiring. She completed her first frame-off rebuild of her 1984 Jeep CJ-7, which took 4 full years to complete. She taught herself how to do electrical work on that Jeep, and Hey, it all works great!
Mrs. Suarez has a love for education and thoroughly enjoys helping students find their way through the challenging days of high school to be a success in the real world. She specializes in forensic sciences, anatomy and physiology, marine biology, algebra 1, and biology. She also is an expert in data collection, data analysis, campus improvement initiatives, reflection, mindfulness and awareness coaching, life coaching, and community building.
After taking a short break from public education to focus on her Jeep rebuild, she is back and honored to be a part of AISD at Travis ECHS! She is committed to bettering our community by leading by example, creating an environment of respect, fun learning, literacy enhancement, discovery of self, and excellent communication. Now, she has her continuing education eyes set on the LACE Certification to become a certified librarian while she is in her first year here.
If you need assistance in research, writing professional and academic papers, resume writing, volunteer ideas, college and career readiness, life success skills, soft skills, STAAR prep, discovery of self, or choosing a great book, please do not hesitate to stop by and inquire about how she may be of assistance to you! We look forward to a continued great year with this new addition to our family! Go Rebels!
