Career Summary

Trilingual math professor with 18 years lecture experience in developmental and undergraduate level mathematics. 2 years experience as an upper division math lab supervisor. Currently employed as an adjunct professor at Los Angeles Valley Community College.

Committee Work – Summary

Open Education Resource Committee for Prealgebra: Pilot the use of OpenStax’s Prealgebra textbook with XYZ software to provide inexpensive math content. Accelerated STEM/Statistics Algebra Pathways Committee: Redesign Elementary and Intermediate Algebra so that all students at LA Valley College will either take a STEM or Statistics Elementary/Algebra combo class. The new course relies heavily on technology and course workshops. Common Assessment Initiative (CAI): Develop placement formulas and cut scores using competency maps provided by the CAI. This is intended to be a free alternative to using other placement tools such as ACCUPLACER or COMPAS.

Teaching Innovations Academy: Intensive summer long training focused to help faculty teams learn how to take a data driven approach to course redesign of gateway classes. The academy was funded by a $640,000 Title V grant which provided an overview of best practices by local colleges and a data survey of Los Angeles Valley College. Outcomes from the academy are to explore the impact of a common calendar, common homework, common final, supplemental workshops, campus tour and study skill videos are to a series of pilot Elementary Algebra courses.

Accelerated Algebra Committee: The committee is tasked to institutionalize the combining of Elementary and Intermediate Algebra in a single semester. The data has shown that accelerated pathways significantly increase student success, graduation and retention rates. Further projects include an exploration of Santa Ana College’s accelerated 7 unit Elementary/Intermediate Algebra combo course which uses a “flip” model, in-class workshops and iPad support.

Brainology Committee: The committee is tasked to explore how to integrate growth mindset classroom activities and assignments and to make recommendations to the department at large.

Accelerated Arithmetic/Prealgebra Faculty Inquiry Group: The FIG is tasked to examine the data and best practices to find interventions and department policy that provide instructors direction and guidance to improve overall course success and retention rate. STEM Faculty Advisor: Mentor STEM majors one on one,S in order to help them have clarity on their educational and professional pathways.
