Experience

My first seven years I taught at Tennyson High School in Hayward.  The next thirteen years I taught at Amador Valley High School in Pleasanton.  Since 2007 I have been teaching at Las Positas.  First as a part-timer, and now full time. Starting in 2018, I became a part of the MDTP workgroup which works to create assessments designed to measure students' readiness for various math classes. I am also a mentor as part of the Math Alliance.

Other Roles at LPC

In addition to teaching math full time at LPC, I am also the Vice President of the Chabot-Las Positas Faculty Association and I chair of the Professional Development Committee. I am also one of the advisors of the Alpha Gamma Sigma (AGS) Honor Society at LPC. Within the AGS State organization, I currently serve as a trustee on the Board of Trustees and am also the Vice-Chair of  Scholarships and Awards. Also, since 2019, I have helped to represented LPC as part of the Mid-Alameda County Consortium (MACC) of adult education providers.
