Presentation transcript:

I won a medal in a competition about fractions in third grade and ever since I was the acknowledged leader in my class in mathematics.

I have a son that was born in 1955 and a daughter in 1959, the year of the Cuban revolution.

I look like Oprah and If you get rid of my eyebrows I would look like Whoopie Goldberg !!!!!!!!

In 1979 I took a leave of absence from Bishop College so that I could become a program manager with the Minority Institutions Science Improvement Program in Washington, D.C. Since 1980 I have been a program director for the Department of Education.

I taught in several American schools before joining the mathematics faculty at Bishop College in Dallas, Texas, where she was chairperson of the Department of Mathematical Science from 1975 to 1978.
