BS The University of Texas at Austin

I am a proud graduate of The University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematical Sciences, focused on statistics and data analysis, and a minor in Science, Technology, and Society. I later earned my Master's in Applied Digital Learning from Lamar University. My journey began as a spaceflight training instructor for the International Space Station through a NASA contractor role. That experience opened my eyes to the joy of teaching and helping others grow through knowledge. When I realized instruction was the part I loved most, I decided to pursue it full-time. Since then, I've spent over 16 years working with middle, high, and college students. From leading hands-on STEM programs to mentoring future leaders through national initiatives, I've built a career rooted in equity, innovation, and student success. I specialize in working with all learners, including ESL/ELL and students with special needs, and I take pride in adapting my approach to make learning accessible, engaging, and personal. While I'm passionate about Mathematics, it is STEM engagement, inspiration, education, and intentional educational technology use that fuels me most these days. I've helped learners achieve strong outcomes on standardized tests and develop long-term confidence in their abilities. I believe education can transform lives and that a strong foundation in math opens doors far beyond the classroom. At home, I'm a mother of three, and we enjoy visiting the library, solving puzzles, singing, dancing, and learning together. When I find quiet time, I'm usually diving into new technology, solving math challenges, or enjoying a well-earned laugh with a good comedy. Teaching is not just what I do; it is who I am.

Since childhood I've had a passion for teaching and learning math. I started actually competing in math tournaments starting in high school, but even in middle school I would do math for fun. Soon realizing my deep passion for math I ended up going to college for mathematics and now currently work as a Junior Java Developer for BGC Partners. That is a quick summary, but more detail below.In High School, I was very into competitive academics. I was on math team, science team, and even history team. My school was brand new so there weren't many people on the teams, but I always tried to make it more fun for people to come. I learned new math tricks on my own to help my fellow teammates. I ended up being district champion in number sense 2 years in a row and top 3 in mathematics those 2 years as well. Even back in high school I loved to help people with math regardless of what year they were or if it would benefit me or not. Now I usually just tutor math because I hope to maybe become a math teacher or professor in the future! Of course that's not for a while and I would have to do my Phd but I think it would be worth it because I believe teaching others math is amazing and it can truly help someone's future and there is no better feeling than that. More importantly personally I think math is just truly magnificent how these formulas and calculations of an intangible idea somehow explain all the real world.

Personal Facts and Style: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Native English Speaker and No Accent (These are important to some students) Patient and Friendly Like to explain things step by step and write a lot on the white board! ALWAYS open to questions and suggestions from students and parents Background: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have always enjoyed teaching new concepts to people, whether formally or informally. To paraphrase an old TV series title, I would say "Have books, will travel" to describe my passion for teaching. Of course, now these "books" are often online, and we travel with laptops and tablets. But learning will always be associated with the word books, in my opinion. My experience includes all levels of mathematics, including calculus, business calculus, and multi-variable calculus. I also love teaching the fundamentals such as algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. I am very comfortable in teaching computer-based topics such as Cloud Computing concepts as well as specifics for Amazon Web Services (AWS) Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Tutoring Approach: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When tutoring, I first try to understand the student's specific goals and needs. Maybe it's help with HW. Maybe it's general concepts. Perhaps it's a standardized test such as AP, SAT, GRE. What does the student need and what are his/her goals? How can I help? That's my approach. I try to make sessions interactive to make the learning process interesting. This also helps reinforce student learning. For 1-1 sessions, this is relatively easy to do. For group sessions, I try to ask students if they understand, and I give them time to solve the problems that I present. Subjects of Interest to Me (not a complete list) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Science is awesome right? From the biochemical reactions inside of our cells to the extreme biological adaptations of deep-diving sperm whales to the long distance migration of some birds, nature never ceases to amaze me. I love Biology (especially Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, and Cancer Biology), Chemistry (especially Biochemistry and Organic Chemistry), and Physics (Classical and Modern). I enjoy tutoring in these subjects as stand-alone or as part of the MCAT exam. Current Endeavors ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am currently working on Machine Learning (ML), and specifically neural networks. I use Python (with the Tensor Flow and Kera packages) and Jupyter Notebooks. I also use various tools in the cloud, and I set up billing alerts and cost constraints to ensure that I stay within my prescribed budget. I am also analyzing data such as my own Apple health data (XML format). There are many tools available for data analysis. I like using Microsoft Fabric along with the Azure Cloud, as it provides a good end-to-end solution.

As a young girl, I frequently crossed the border between my home in Brownsville, Texas, and Matamoros, Mexico. Captivated by Matamoros, I was oblivious to the complexities of immigration issues. While in Matamoros, I immersed myself in the local culture, enjoying festivals at the plaza, eating at local restaurants, and shopping at the market. I was unaware that invisible borders held stories far beyond my understanding. As a recent college graduate, I ventured into Matamoros with great curiosity; I wanted to connect with migrants and asylum seekers whose stories I watched unfold on local and national news. I was driven to visit Matamoros, hoping to understand and address the challenges faced by the individuals on the international bridge. As I approached the border fence, its imposing structure became a stark reminder that I was standing between the threshold of two countries the familiar life I knew in the United States and the unknown aspects that awaited me in Mexico. Families from various countries stood near their makeshift encampments, desperately seeking safety and a better life in the United States. There were families from multiple countries. Indelible scenes unfolded before me: young children with eyes of innocence and desperation, tugging at the sleeves of exhausted parents, all carrying the hope for a better future. On the international bridge, I sparked a conversation with Leandra, a woman from El Salvador who was traveling with her husband and two children. Listening to Leandra's stories, I felt the weight of their journey as she explained that she had to escape the horrific violence and crime in their home country along with economic hardships. The fear and resilience in her children's eyes left a permanent mark on my soul. I spoke to an immigration officer and learned that hundreds of families stay in their tents until they are called to meet with immigration officials. These families need legal representation to apply for asylum as they seek refuge status. Countless souls converged here, seeking compassion, understanding, and a chance at a better life an existing reality invisible to me until I began conversing with them. This experience became an inspiration for my life's work. Motivated to make a meaningful difference, I recently began working at an immigration law firm. Working closely with an attorney, I connected with Jose Martinez and his family from Juarez, Mexico. They were striving for permanent residency in the United States after enduring hardships in their hometown. Jose expressed his aspirations of offering his family stability and security, envisioning a life devoid of the uncertainties they faced in Juarez. However, the journey was challenging. The legal intricacies became more than just paperwork; it represented the Martinez family's aspirations and the hurdles they faced. As we navigated the complexities, the emotional weight of the case became palpable. The fear of the unknown, the hope for a better life, and the bureaucratic hurdles all intertwined, creating a heartbreaking and inspiring narrative. Despite the challenges, the resilient spirit of the Martinez family shone through. The impact on me was profound. Witnessing the Martinez family's resilience fueled my determination to overcome each of their legal obstacles. I was more than just a legal aide; I became a support system, offering reassurance during moments of doubt and sharing in the family's small victories. The Martinez case showed me the personal and transformative impact that immigration law can have on those seeking refuge and opportunity. It reinforced the notion that my role as a legal aide goes beyond the legalities; it involves becoming champions for families striving to build a new life. In conclusion, my transformation from a carefree child in Brownsville to an advocate for individuals navigating immigration complexities has profoundly shaped my perception of borders and fueled my career aspirations. This journey has instilled in me a firm belief in the power of legal advocacy to shape narratives and promote a society that acknowledges our shared humanity beyond borders. I am dedicated to fostering a more compassionate understanding of border-influenced lives, aspiring to make a meaningful impact in law school, and ultimately succeeding as an attorney.

I am a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Plan II Honors along with a minor in Biology. During my years as an undergrad, I served as a peer adviser to help incoming freshmen prepare for college-level classes; an editor for both my university's literary journal and research journal; and a Mandarin Chinese teacher for beginning learners. After graduation, I began tutoring ESL students from China and eventually succeeded in raising their English scores by a full letter grade at the end of the semester. With more than 5 years of mentoring, tutoring, and teaching experience, I strongly believe that all subjects can be made fascinating. Gaining knowledge should be an exciting process, not a dreaded routine. Because of this, I try my best to find creative and fun methods of teaching for all my subjects, particularly for my specialtiesreading, writing, and test preparation. Due to my love of both learning and helping others, I am currently beginning a graduate degree in social work that will allow me to both expand my education and aid a greater amount of people. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and writing; playing the piano, violin, and ukulele; pet-sitting kittens or puppies; and trying adventurous foods.

1+ Years Tutoring

I graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Biology with a cellular, molecular, and developmental concentration. I grew up in Houston, TX and started tutoring during high school for students struggling with the math and science portions on the TAKS test. I discovered quickly that I really enjoyed working with others and can creatively think of different ways to explain key concepts to make them easier to understand. I continued this passion when I went to Austin for college, working as an undergraduate researcher, mentor, and preceptor for biochemistry. I worked with my professors to organize and conduct weekly study sessions and reviews before exam days. Following graduation, I decided to postpone my plans of going on to medical school to become part of the AVID program. As an AVID tutor, I work work closely with disadvantaged students in grades 6-12 to help them with various subjects such as algebra I/II, geometry, calculus, physics, chemistry, and biology. In my free time, I enjoy checking out new restaurants with friends and trying new recipes with (huge foodie here!). I also enjoy long distance running, kayaking, camping, hiking, road trips, and photography.

I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Biological Sciences from Mount Holyoke College and a Master of Education from the University of Texas at Austin. As a high school teacher, I focused on Biology and Environmental Science and as a middle school teacher I focused on Physical and Earth Science. I am most passionate about tutoring science and helping students understand how to ask questions and develop procedures to answer those questions. When working with students one on one I make sure to evaluate their current knowledge and make sure there's a strong foundation on which we can build. I especially enjoy using visual and hands-on tools to help make abstract principles more concrete. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, crocheting, sewing, cooking and learning new things. Learning is a lifelong pursuit and I enjoy finding ways to make learning fun.
