I have been the ONLY TEACHER IN THE PASCO COUNTY SCHOOL SYSTEM TO COACH TEAMS FOR THIS NATIONAL COMPETITION, and so we competed against mostly private schools, math magnet schools, and academies in Hillsborough County,

These awards include:

• Florida Coach's Award
• 20 Year Involvement Award

Pasco County has an annual mathematics competition, also.  I have coached the Algebra 1 team for 25 years, voluntarily, after school.  My team has placed in the top 3 positions for 23 of those years, and has taken 1st place 17 out of the 25 years.  I have been called the Algebra Queen by administrators in Pasco County. This last year, my team won by an overwhelming margin.

I LOVE to teach, and I have a positive impact on the learning of my students.  I am a  hard-working, dedicated professional who has received recognition for expertise in teaching math:
