As a passionate educator with over 30 years of teaching experience, I thrive on making complex concepts accessible and engaging for my students. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering Technology from DeVry Institute of Technology and have specialized in subjects such as Algebra, AP World History, Basic Computer Literacy, and Electrical Engineering. My extensive background in the semiconductor and medical imaging industries has equipped me with the ability to break down technical information into digestible lessons, ensuring my students not only understand but can apply what they've learned. My teaching philosophy centers on performance-based outcomes, where I focus on equipping students with the skills they need to succeed. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy mentoring youth in the Boy Scouts, where I teach various merit badges, further honing my ability to connect with diverse age groups. I am dedicated to fostering a supportive learning environment that inspires curiosity and confidence in every student.
