Defining Moments in my Education

The moments of education that matter the most are the little ones, when one chooses how they are going to commit to learning.  I found that making the committment of doing whatever it took to learn the most difficult mathematics I had ever been taught, worked.  I discovered that with hard work, consistency and dedication that I could learn complex multiple step problem solving skills.

Core Educational Beliefs

My core belief  is that through education we develop individually as greater versions of ourselves and collectively as a society we solve many of humanities problems creating a better life.  It will be through education that the fate of the planet can be understood and solved.

Prior Experience

Amphitheater High School (2020 – present)

I have taught as a certified Secondary Math Teacher  for 5 years  at public and charter schools.  Prior to that, I worked with students individually providing support in math and other academic skills.  I have also worked as a substitute teacher for several years as well.

Why I am Committed to Amphi

I am committed to the students and families of Amphi High School because of the opportunity I have to support their goals and dreams through education.  It is clear to me that throughout the Amphi community there is a dedication to student success.

Hobbies and Interests

I have a daughter who lives in Brooklyn, NY.  I also have 3 dogs- Max, Jaimme and Harmony and one cat-Princess.   I am entrepreneurial and enjoy creating business opportunities. When the mountain isn't on fire, or the sun boiling hot, I enjoy hiking and biking.

I do my best to keep up with topics like economics, health,  social justice, politics, pop culture, film and music.  Naps are nice too!
