Mr. Alexander L. Samia

[he/him/his]

My career in education began even before my first position in the school system. As a captain on the wrestling team in high-school, to management positions in college, I had always had a passion for leading others to do well.

I took my first position in Cypress Fairbanks ISD, where I worked as a paraprofessional in L.I.F.E Skills. I had no idea what I was getting into, but it did not take long for me to discover my love for teaching skills valuable in a functional environment. Later, I transitioned to an elementary school and had the opportunity to work with children in the general education classroom. By my third year, I was back in L.I.F.E Skills, but with a school, an educator, and a class that taught me the valuable lessons of incorporating evidence-based practice in the classroom.

Now, as I begin my journey in educating others, I take the lessons I have learned throughout the way and applied them every day in my classroom.
