Fourth is her favorite grade.    She graduated from the University of Texas at Brownsville in 2007 with a Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies.  Villarreal demonstrates her passion for teaching by trying new and creative approaches, which seek to motivate students and enhance their learning.

 Villarreal believes in creative teaching styles which involve showing the students how the lesson topic/content relates to their own lives and the real world. This can help them develop a greater sense of purpose. She believes that getting to know your students and learning about their backgrounds truly can help us find the most relevant lesson ideas.
