Hello CAST Tech Community! I am excited to join the inaugural team of our school as I start my seventh year teaching Physics! I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biology and Masters in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, both at UTSA.
I have experience teaching a wide range of high school science courses, and I enjoy creating learning and growth opportunities for students, my colleagues, and myself. I recognize the value of quality instruction towards guiding collaborative student growth. I utilize tools in the classroom that enable students to actively take ownership over their own learning. I believe in supporting students in identifying and fulfilling their potential. Additionally, I strive to build relationships with the community and parents as they are foundational to student and school success.
I was recently awarded "Teacher of the Month," named "Teacher that Models Excellence," and recipient of a district Innovative Teacher Grant. These awards are the result of my efforts to continue to grow and model education in an innovative way. As a former university ambassador, I have had several opportunities to teach and speak to the student body at UTSA and other San Antonio campuses on subjects of hope, challenges, and perseverance. My beautiful wife and I enjoy traveling and cooking. I am excited to be part of creating the future at CAST Tech!
