"Bow Ties Are Cool!"
Hello there! So you want to know more about me? I remember as a student myself that there's a bit of mystery about who a teacher is and what they are like outside the classroom. So here we go!
First, I'm Mr. Owens, or you may call me Mr. O. I was born and raised in the Charlotte area, have lived here all my life. I finished Bachelors of Arts degree at UNCC in 2005. My major was Computer Science and I completed a minor in mathematics and I graduated cum lade. If you've spent much time with computers or tablets you know that working on computers is all about MATH!
I worked in Uptown Charlotte for a while at a company called Accenture, where I worked as a computer programmer.
In 2013 I decided to go back to school to earn my Master's degree in teaching mathematics.
As a middle school student myself I struggled to adjust to atmosphere. I also struggled with mathematics when I was in middle school, and it was not until high school and college that I realized how much I enjoyed mathematics. Some of my favorite teachers were responsible for helping me make that adjustment, and they did it by making the subject fun, exciting and relevant to me as a student. That same excitement, and interest is what I bring to the classroom as well.
On a more personal level, I am married to my best friend Kristin, and we have two dogs. I love to read, especially Sherlock Holmes stories and Hunger Games Series. You can find out more about books I've read and recommend on my blog. My favorite television shows include Doctor Who, Sherlock, and Adventure Time!
I look forward to working together with you to achieve success in mathematics!
Mr. Owens
