Goals and interests

Career goal

I am already in my intended path. If I were to go further, it would be to stay current on all trends and issues in Mathematics Education, write curriculum that impacts the learning and application of that learning for a variety of learners. Lastly, I would like to show other teachers in the mathematics field how to energize their classroom and instruction to change the adversity toward math that some learners have to at least a toleration and understanding of its significance to their life.

Graduate school interests

I have the great honor of saying that I have finally completed the personal and professional goal of completing my doctorate in the field of Education.

Outside the classroom

I am an avid reader who prefers fiction as a ways of escape when i need a few minute to myself. In addition to reading, I have a love for most things musical. I love to listen, dance, and sing to the music, yes even those without words to keep myself balanced and sane. I enjoy learning about various cultures which I hope to promote through world travel. I gain insights of these cultures through people and media, but especially through cooking and eating the cuisine. Finally, I love watching movies that will allow me to be optimistic about the world. love and life. Or movies that will allow me to stand up and become an action-packed super hero.
