She spent many years in the classroom as a K-2 teacher holding a Bachelor's in Elementary Education. In 2011 she relocated to Florida. After serving as the Assistant Principal at Apopka Elementary, Dr. Vazquez joined the administration team at Meadow Woods Elementary as a school principal in 2017. She is now in the process of opening a new elementary school in the Lake Nona community.

Instructional strategies need to accommodate different learning abilities and meet the needs of individual scholars. Education needs to be engaging, creative, rigorous, and innovative. The school is the community's heart, and it is imperative to have strong bonds with the families and the community to lead scholars to reach their maximum potential.
