About
I am an AVID-trained educator with an expertise in Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, and Math Models. I have taught high school level students for almost 10 years at Travis Early College high school in the heart of Texas (Austin, TX). I have also been a sponsor for the senior class of 2018, assisting students in understading the need for balanced finiancial skills and budgeting. Recently, I worked as a supervisor and mentored students in a state program for freshaman and sophmores, the Summer Youth Empowerment Program. The fundamentals of graduating from high school, interviewing for a job, creating a resume/coverletter, and netwroking for references were a few details we elaborated on in the program.
I enjoy helping people develop the skills necessary to become independent problem solvers. Watching my students grow in knowledge and confidence in themselves, gives me a sense of accomplishment as an educator. My passion for the work I do is the oppurtunity to equip students with life readiness skills that will help them in their future endeavors, whether it be further education or a career to give back to their community. The opportunity to offer students a foundation to build upon as they prepare to enter adulthood is important to me as not many students I've encoutered are taught about what happens after high school.
