Mr. Gerardo C. Martinez
I
lived in Monterrey, Mexico for the first eleven years of my life.
Shortly after my birthday, my dad informed us that we would be moving to
the United States. Once here, my mom enrolled me in the McAllen school
system, in which I attended two middle schools: Lamar and De Leon.
During high school, I went to Nikki Rowe High School before enrolling at
UTPA.
I graduated in 2006 with a degree in
English Literature and I have been teaching ever since. I taught one
year at the ECISD, but I was called in April of 2008 because Sharyland
was looking for a tennis coach. I have been here ever since and have
thoroughly enjoyed my time at this school. I attained a
Master's Degree in Literature in 2013 and a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership in 2016.
My hobbies include reading
(of course), playing tennis, running, cycling, and learning about new
technology. I am currently starting to train for a cross-country bike
ride this summer.
