Meet Our Teachers

Mrs. Felipe

Welcome to math! I’m excited about joining the staff at Otto this year. Previously, I worked as a math teacher and instructional coach in Richardson ISD. After taking some years off to stay home with my children, I spent the last two years subbing and doing math intervention in PISD.

Math 7 is my absolute favorite class to teach. It is an important year for academic growth, and seventh graders are awesome! Every student can be successful, and my goal each year is to build confidence in all of them.

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Jeff, and our three kids, Evelyn, Cole, and Luke.

I believe that math is a subject that everyone can excel in with the right support and encouragement. My teaching philosophy centers on making math accessible and engaging for all my students.

A recent Texas transplant from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, I have been in education for over 10 years. I am a proud graduate of Cardinal Stritch University, a private teaching college in Wisconsin.

My goal as a teacher is to ignite students’ confidence and motivate them to succeed in school, career and life by providing sincere instruction and guidance that will nurture the human spirit. From this, students will develop a lifelong commitment to the art of self-liberation through learning at any age.
