Background:

Upon graduation from Baylor, I entered the world of education at Boswell High School. I was there 3 years and taught mathematics. I then moved to the Fort Worth Independent School District, where I taught at Arlington Heights for a year, went to Commerce High School for a year, and then returned to Heights for the last four years. This will be my tenth year of teaching and I feel very fortunate to be around such a quality set of colleagues and students. .

Educational  Philosophy:

I believe that all students can succeed.  Math can be intimidating, but I believe that students need to be challenged with high standards.  My philosophy is that if I can teach every student some form of life skill as I present mathematical material, I am preparing them for the next stage of their life journey out of school.
 

Personal Statement:

Beyond the teaching world, I have finished year one of marriage. I have a pet beagle named Wrigley. I love the sports world and follow it passionately. I hope that your child learns a lot of strong foundational math skills while under my wing, and that you will not hesitate to contact me if there is any other way I can assist.
