Experience Summary
I have 28 years of experience as a Speech & Language Pathologist in a West Houston School District. I am currently retired. I presently work as an Adjunct Professor at a Community College. I teach incoming freshmen a required student success class. I teach study skills, test strategies & skills, effective study skills, learning styles, speech and writing skills. I also have taught at a 4 year university in the teacher education program-multicultural education. Lastly, I have extensive experience in teacher and student professional development.
Teaching Style
I prefer student-centered teaching that encourages learning by both students and teacher. I am an advocate of acknowledging that the students’ varied viewpoints and different ways of solving problems are acceptable. I also favor classroom dynamics even in an environment that permit positive dialogue to optimize success. In addition, I bring an attention to students that extends beyond the classroom as I have great communication skills and can help to advise or clarify issues for those students who need some extra instruction.
My Hobbies
I like reading, singing, going to church and spending time with my 20 year old son with autism.
