About Me (Bio): 
I am the Postdoctoral Research Associate for our DR K-12 grant project entitled, “Preservice Teachers Knowledge for Teaching Algebra for Equity in the Middle Grades” at Texas A&M University. My research area is in Mathematics Education with primary research interests in STEM education, preservice teacher education, and the use of computational technology in mathematics education. Prior to coming to TAMU I taught mathematics full-time at Huston-Tillotson University where I also worked on a U.S. Dept. of Education Minority Science and Engineering Improvement Program (MSEIP) grant project. I have over 18 years of industry experience as both a Process Controls Engineer and as a Senior Technical Instructor where I taught PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) programming courses. I’m quite thankful to be a 2010 CADRE Fellow and I look forward to working with all of you in the future as we pursue our research agendas.
