Professional and life experience
Growing up, I was the "smart kid," but that changed when I reached college. I began my college career at UCLA, where I studied mathematics and philosophy. Up against some of the greatest minds in the nation, for the first time I felt truly challenge. I struggled to find success without having developed the necessary tools. I made it through -- barely. After college, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my life.
Eventually, I decided to try teaching, and loved it! I decided to go back to school to earn my teaching credential, along with a master's degree. Returning to school at a slightly older age, I felt reinvigorated and ready for success. I graduated with a perfect GPA. I taught secondary math and mild/moderate special education for a number of years. Eventually, I landed in a mentoring role and realized my passion was helping adult learners. That's when I decided to return to school to earn my PhD. I made it through my program in three years and loved (almost) every minute of it! Recently, I even felt confident enough to return to the field of mathematics and pick up a second master's degree.
Currently, I work as a college professor and academic coach. My goal is to help others -- to show them how to find their own success and follow their unique passion!
