 Hi, my name is Marie Garza. This is my first online class and I am trying my best to not get lost. Thanks to Dr. Butler/s help and quick respones to my almost everyday questions, I am catching up. I was born and raised in Lima the capital of Peru. October 1976 I moved to Washington D.C. and worked as an interpreter for the Organization of American States until I got married and moved to Texas. In 1995 I moved from the Dallas area to Harlingen and I have been teaching at Harlingen High School South since then. My husband Juan just retired 2 years ago from teaching Biology and coaching football and soccer and is enjoying doing nature photography. I have 3 wonderful children: Monica (27), Wesley (25) and Marissa (16). I have visited a few interesting places in the world, like Machu Picchu in the high Andes Mountains of Peru. Some of my wants are: to continue to grow spiritually, making healthy decisions about exercising and food, reading Spanish Literature, travel to more interesting places in the world (Rome, Italy) and with God's help live a peacefully, healthy life. My email is . Hope to be able to meet some of you soon. |
 Hi. My name is Janie Ortiz. I am originally from San Benito, Tx. Coming from a family of 7 children, I am the first to attend and receive my Bachelor Degree in Mathematics from St. Edward's University. I have a wonderful husband and 3 beautiful children. Currently, I am the Dean of Mathematics Instruction at San Benito High School. I work with 17 excellent math teachers and a great administration. I provide the teachers with benchmark data analysis, curriculum and instruction best practices, balance out their class loads, set-up after-school tutorials, C-Plan tutorials, Saturday Academies, and provide any other support necessary. I also call in students and discuss their required math courses. I am pursuing a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction with Emphasis in Mathematics from the University of Texas at Brownsville. My current position was my goal. I am very passionate about what I do and care deeply about helping out the students as much as possible. This is my way of giving back to the community where I grew up. |

Hello. My name is Jessica Marie Sanchez and this is my first semester in the MEd Tech program. I work at the University of Texas-Pan American as an Instructional Developer. My interests lie in making sure that the courses I place up for faculty online are designed well and incorporate technology that can enhance the students experience. I love my job because I get to play with different technologies- always learning. 
I am Leon Hudson. I am a firefighter with the Austin Fire Department in Austin, Texas. This is my first semester in the Ed Tech program. I graduated from St Edward's University, Austin with a BA in Criminal Justice in 1988. My plan is to assist the AFD training division by taking the current online continuing education program and transform it into a robust and an information filled source of quality training and continuing education for leadership, fire and emergency medical skills. I retire from AFD in a few years and will move into the adult education/continuing education field either in business or academia. Let's have a fun semester!
