EDUCATION
At Adrian Wilcox High School in Santa Clara, I enrolled in the Electronics Academy Program for three years. This program encouraged students to pursue a career and interest in the technological understanding and production of electronic parts and gadgets. The class had us create circuit boards, robots, and our program year started the development of GoLo a miniature satellite created for Cal Poly/Stanford Cubesat program. The GoLo project was passed on to the following year to complete and launch. The Electronics Academy also help set a summer internship for me at Hewlett Packard, which led to a full time position following immediately after summer ended.
After a duration at HP, I came to the realization that while I am skilled in technology and electronics, the field did not feed my need to be stimulated. It was by pure chance that I had volunteered at my uncle's friend's speech therapist school. I enjoyed it very much and decided that was the area I wanted to head into. I went to a community college to test out one of the Child Development class with MyTra Nguyen and instantly fell in love with the entire field. With her encouragement and motivation I transferred to San Jose State University and acquired a Bachelor of Arts in Child and Adolescent Development. I also added a minor in Mathematics for K-12 teacher.
I am the first of my family and all of my relatives to attend graduate school. After my time at San Jose State University, I decided to pursue a school which would not only recommend me as a credential teacher, but to also supply me with the skill and knowledge to become an effective teacher. With these criteria I carefully searched for all the schools that offered an education program. After a long research I ended up at the University of San Francisco. With the support of the staff, faculty, and my beloved cohort I ended up with a multiple subject credential, a single subject credential in science, and a Masters of Arts in Teaching within a year and a half. My master's project was about creating a Science Learning Center that utilizes Problem-Based Learning as a core teaching methodology.
