I am a mathematics teacher at Thomas Dale High school in Chesterfield County. In addition to teaching high school , I am an adjunct Mathematics professor at Virginia State University. I have been teaching since 1997. As a mathematician, I have taught 7th, and 8th grade Mathematics, Algebra I & 2 ,Statistics, Trig, Computer Math ,and Basic Programming. I studied computer programming while I was obtaining my BS and MS in Mathematics minoring in Education. I have devoted my teaching career to getting students job-ready with mathematics and computer science. I have taught a code.org course Computer Science in Algebra , which gave students a hands-on opportunity to observe how Algebra and Computer Science work together to make a game. I have trained teachers on Computer Science in Algebra. I have taught Computer Science Discovery(CSD) in my computer math class. I currently train teachers how to use CSD or Middle School Electives . I look forward to training more teachers, giving them the tools they need to expose all students to computer science.
