I am Tiffany Jackson, the Social Emotional Learning Specialist at Iduma Elementary.  This is my 14^th year in public education and I am absolutely thrilled to be back at Iduma Elementary to be of service to students, parents, and staff.  My passion is helping students become successful both emotionally, as well as academically.  Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions/concerns.

Dream Big Maverick Ohana!

My name is Megan Gilbert and I am an 18 year veteran of Iduma Elementary. I have served as one of our professional school counselors for the past 9 years, but before that I taught 1^st grade, 3^rd grade and was a special education paraprofessional. I work with my fellow counselors, administrators and teachers to provide a safe environment for students every day they walk through our doors. I love Iduma and love serving our students and families.

I am a product of Killeen ISD and graduated from Killeen High School. Growing up in Killeen helps me relate to our students and understand some of the struggles they face each day. I want our students and families to know they have people in their corner and will support their needs.

When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and kids at home or at one of their many extracurricular activities. I am active in my church and enjoy giving back to the community by connecting people with resources.

My name is Mrs. Cristelita Fuertes. I enjoy working with our Iduma students because they give me so much love! I also appreciate working with parents, staff and other professionals because I gain a lot of knowledge and develop new skills that I need in order to perform my job well.

I started working as a professional school counselor at Iduma Elementary School in 2016, as soon as I earned my Masters of Education in School Counseling degree at Texas A&M University of Central Texas and passed the examination for School Counselors.

I am also a teacher. I enjoyed teaching PreK students at St. Joseph’s Catholic School, Gr. 1 and Gr. 4 students at Meadows Elementary School in Fort Cavazos, and I currently tutor after school at the JPLC, KISD Tutoring Center.

Outside of school, I love spending time with my family: Nyla, our gorgeous Pitbull-Terrier, my husband, Retired 1SG Joel Fuertes, who served in the US Army for 20 years and now works for the Killeen City Public Library; my daughter, Cathleen Joy, and my son, Joel Christopher. Both completed their elementary, middle and high school in KISD.
