A Little Bit About Me...

My passion is to inspire others to reach their maximum potential. I am currently a College Professor at Westwood College where I teach Calculus and Algebra. I have a BS in Industrial Engineering from Clemson University and an MBA from Georgia State University. I have also worked in the industry as an engineer for a number of years where I applied numbers and mathematical formulas on a daily basis. Understanding the application of Math is critical to teaching it. My students ask me daily how what they are learning is going to help them once they graduate….I can assure you that I always have an answer pertaining to the application of Math! It is a basic fundamental that is used in many aspects of life.
Math is different from most subjects in that the learning does not begin until the application, theories, and formulas are put to practice. I am an expert at conveying complex mathemat ... read more

The bottom line is that the attitude you have will determine the how effectively you are able to communicate to the students, their parents and within the school system.
As both a lead instructor and a supervisor, I have developed training programs that engage students, enhance their level of learning, all while benchmarking these pro ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I use positive motivation with my students, explaining how subject matter being covered should relate to them and their future successes. I try to link the subjects with current events and how lack of knowledge on specific subjects can cost them either financially or impact their health and well being. For example, when I encounter a senior who is not participating in class, I give them an employment application to fill out, explaining if they have difficulty completing it, they better join the class.
I graduated LSU and was commissioned as an officer in the US Air Force. I completed Transportation Officer courses on vehicle fleet management, commercial transportation, and staff logistics officer training related to airlift terminal management and operations. I also attended and graduated from the Traffic Accident Investigation and Traffic Control course. I have been a business con ... read more
