With all due respect to the young teachers, I believe “The best classroom of the world is at the feet of an elderly teaching person”
I was born and finished High School in Greece. Arrived to the USA at the age of 18 as a foreign student under a Fulbright scholarship
I hold a B.S. degree with double major in Math and Physics from Roosevelt University of Chicago and a M.S. degree in Electron Physics/Electronics from I.I.T. of Chicago. I am certified by the Florida Department of Education to teach Math for Grades 5-9 and 6-12
My working career includes that of being an International Project Manager building factories around the world to manufacture electronic products with American Equipment and technology. Due to this 25-year long activity, I lived and worked in many foreign countries, including China, Russia, Europe and the Middle East acquiring multilingual and multicultural background.
Upon retirement, I established and run my own successful commercial Aquaponics business.
I love to transfer my knowledge and experiences to the young students of TFA.
TFA provides me the opportunity to do so through its Student Project Based Learning programs.
