About The Teacher

This is my third year teaching Algebra I at Stony Point 9th Grade Center.  
I have a B.A Math from the University of Texas at Austin.  I spent roughly 8 
years in private industry working in sales and marketing and as an 
entrepeneur before answering the call to be a teacher.  I have been 
surrounded by educators my entire life and always knew that it was my 
destiny.  I am married with a beautiful 3 year-old daughter and a son on the 
way.

GOALS FOR OUR CLASS

We will have three goals for everyone in our class this year:

1. EARN CREDIT FOR ALGEBRA 1  
High school is different than middle school and elementary school.  In high 
school you need to earn credits to graduate.  You need 4 credits of high 
school mathematics.  Our goal is to have everyone in our class earn credit 
and we will help each other to accomplish this.

2. MEET THE STANDARD FOR THE 9TH GRADE MATH TAKS If we work hard on Goal #1, 
meeting the standard for the 9th grade Math TAKS test will be easy.  We will 
work together in class and in tutorials to accomplish this goal. 

3. HAVE FUN.  
I think that this is the most important goal for the year.  It should be our 
goal to have fun while we learn.  Please let me know whenever you are not 
having fun learning Algebra 1 and we can work together to change that.
