I am Dr. Yemane W. Desta, a Math teacher at Travis High School. I have been teaching in High Schools & in Colleges for more than 20 years.

I have a Ph.D. in Urban Planning and Environmental Policy, M.A. and B.A. degrees in Mass Communication and Journalism, a B.Sc. degree in Mathematics (Minor Physics). I took 120 credit hours of college education towards a bachelor’s degree in Economics as well. Moreover, I took some graduate classes of Education. Currently, i.e., in 2022-2023, I am teaching On-level Statistics and College Prep Math classes.
