Howdy, I am a Texas Certified Educator since 2006 with a Master's degree in Educational Leadership and post-graduate work in mathematics. I taught middle school mathematics for 10 years before moving into administration positions at the district level for four years. During that time I continued my own education and skill development by becoming a Certified Google for Education Trainer, Microsoft in Education (MIE) Expert and trainer, as well as an Apple Teacher. I enjoy working with students and fellow educators in small groups to address their individual needs and grow their knowledge of mathematics and technology.
All of these skills and experience continue to spark my entrepreneurial spirit towards operating my own micro-school geared towards students whose academic skills and achievement are beyond their traditional age-based grade level/peer group. I hold certification and years of experience working with gifted and twice-exceptional students as well as English-language learners. As a twice-exceptional learner myself and mother to both profoundly gifted and twice-exceptional learners, I am able to apply first-hand knowledge and experience to help my students discover their super-power gifts that some describe as disabilities.
I love helping students find or rediscover the joy of learning and the power of self-advocacy.
I describe myself as a great instructor and tutor of mathematics because I guide students to see that math does not need to be feared and is "figure-out-able" through hands-on, concrete methods before moving to more abstract methods.
I taught 6th-9th grade mathematics classes in public schools for 10 years maintaining high levels of student progress and achievement both at the campus and district levels, annually.
Texas Educator Certifications: Generalist (All Core Subjects) 4-8; Mathematics 8-12; Technology Applications EC-12 + Gifted & Talented Education EC-12; English as a Second Language EC-12; & Principal EC-12
