I hold a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction in Mathematics Education from USF as well as additional graduate hours in the study of Mathematics at UWF.  I have been teaching high school mathematics courses for the last 37 years and have very much enjoyed teaching the students of St  Petersburg College for the last twelve years.  I look forward to helping you understand and master the beautiful concepts of mathematics and in doing so, prepare you for the mathematics courses that lie ahead for you.  My philosophy is to help those who help themselves and challenge you to be the best student you can be in our class together and then beyond.  That means to take advantage of the many tools the college offers, complete the expectations of the course, including completion of homework and to be an active part of class.  With those expectations, you can be assured that I will be there to help you reach success and have many tools to help you reach your goals.
