Experience

I have taught middle school and high school for 21 years including a variety of math levels, chemistry, and physics in both private and public schools in the US.

Teaching style

Working together, students, parents,and teachers can all have successful learning experiences. Teaching is a team sport in which all of the players work toward the common goal of enriching students' lives.

My own education history

I received my BA from Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio, TX, with a major in chemistry and a minor in math. My student teaching was in the San Antonio public school system. Subsequently, I received my MA from the University of Texas at Austin in the same areas.

Additional biographical information

I am the mother of four and currently live in North Carolina.
