About
Passion for Mathematics and helping students succeed.
I have been a Math Tutor, Substitute Teacher, and College/Career Advisor for 10 years. I formed a math mentor/tutoring program engaging 12th graders to assist me in tutoring middle school students in math. I also created SAT Prep workshops for high school students.
Prior to my work in the local school district I held an executive management position for a high tech company in Silicon Valley, with over 30 years experience in the Tech Industry in Product Engineering.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from Santa Clara University, Santa Clara, CA.
I love helping students succeed in Math.
