PSAT Excellence
We believe education should be a two way process of enlightenment, where energy is transferred continuously between the facilitator and the students. The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy is always conserved, meaning energy is never created or destroyed. Energy can be transferred or converted into one form or another. In a educational culture where there is constant virtual or in-person positive energy transfer, students can develop with limitless potential. Our team of distinguished and gifted advisors, partners and educators are committed to supporting the student in his or her journey to greatness.
Director of Education Administration: Camisha Adams, MBA, Texas A&M University; Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering Technology & Logistics, University of Houston
I am a native of the island of Jamaica and a Houstonian growing up. I am the middle sibling of three, a daughter to an amazingly strong woman, a mother of two and a wife. My Mother’s drive propelled us to the “Land of opportunity. Her faith guided us through tough times in the states, and her moxie made us resiliant. I began my elementary education in the states in 2nd grade. Growing up in Alief, Texas wasn’t easy. In search of a fresh start, my family and I moved out to the newly developing city of Katy when I was fifteen. After gaining my High School Diploma from Katy High School, I ventured to the University of Houston Main Campus with my sights set on becoming an Industrial Engineer. After six years of course work, a few internships, and a shift in my career pathway I joyfully completed my course work. I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Supply Chain & Logistics Engineering Technology and a Minor in Dance on May 10th 2008 from the University of Houston. After graduation I attempted a few industry temp positions but was unsatisfied. I longed for a career that would grant me interpersonal relationships, flexibility, onward thinking, continued development, growth and movement. I then became a full-time contract dance instructor for Vibe Dance and Fitness in Houston. I taught a variety of dance genres: Ballet/Tap combination, Creative Movement, Jazz, Hip-Hop, beginner Ballroom and Salsa classes. After five years of teaching dance, I realized that educating others has been a passion I couldn’t ignore any longer and becoming certified was necessary.
Through A+ Texas Teachers I completed the program and gained my certifications in Early Childhood through sixth, Special Education through twelfth, and English as a Second Language during the month of February 2013. During this time of transition, I gained two years as an Early Childhood Paraprofessional at Gabriela Mistral and three years of experience as a Prekindergarten educator at MacGregor Elementary School through HISD. After teaching for five years, I returned to school and obtained my Masters in Business Administration from Texas A&M University. After graduation I became an educator and an instructional math coach for the Spring Independent School District for an additional six years. I am well versed in MAPS Assessments and Skills, ISEE, E-Learning, Google Meets, Google Classroom, and Blackboard.
I believe that “Our Tomorrow” depends on the intellectual, social, emotional and physical development of our youth. A tomorrow where individuals demonstrate exceptional knowledge, share their profound wisdom, and upholds a proud definition of self. I believe that taking a balanced approach-a fusion of academic excellence, social development and character maturity- is effective in grooming students into well rounded individuals. When these talents are fostered, each student will emerge with important life skills. Creating something new that offers students a chance to fill in the missing piece or develop further is a step towards progress. I have seen many districts and home school programs try to meet the needs of developing our children by offering only parts. We all know that for a program, system or machine to work all components are needed. As a result, so many students are lost in the shuffle, their minds limited and career paths altered or holted. Wanting more for our children and having the courage to make the change is what I offer. Coming aboard this new platform I can apply innovative solutions, dedication, diligence and my skill sets. I joyfully embrace the new, the change and a better educational platform.
Executive Board Member & Founder: Andrew Green, DC, MBA; Bachelor’s Degree, Chemistry, Texas A&M University; MBA, Texas A&M University; Doctorate of Chiropractic Medicine, Texas Chiropractic College; Postgraduate Studies – Neuroscience, Carrick Institute; Postgraduate Studies – Acupuncture, National University of Health Sciences
Dr. Andrew Green has been a guest panelist/speaker on several occasions at Rice University, discussing STEM in Sports. He is a product of the culture of excellence that permeates Texas A&M University. He holds a doctorate of Chiropractic Medicine and postgraduate certifications in Acupuncture and Medical Neurodiagnostics. As an undergraduate, he was chosen to conduct chemical research at Princeton University and conducted combinatorial peptide research in the Dept. of Entomology at Texas A&M University. As an industry chemist he served roles as water treatment chemist, polymer resin chemist and cosmetic formulations chemist. As a health care professional, Dr. Green has diagnosed and treated several NFL, NBA and NCAA athletes.
Dr. Green is a firm believer in the transformational power of a well-designed education, whether virtual, homeschool, private or public. One of Dr. Green’s greatest sources of inspiration in his life was being mentored and loved by his beloved uncle, who helped to integrate Texas A&M University in 1963 as one of three African-American undergraduates to ever be accepted for enrollment into Texas A&M University. Dr. Green believes there is no such thing as a smart or dumb child, only one that has been nurtured and developed, while others have not been so fortunate. His accomplishments are many from being a Minister of Music, pianist, songwriter, guitarist, 3D animation, music producer, inventor to being an entrepreneur, but he believes his greatest accomplishment in life is his role as a loving father to his children. He loves to spend his free time either playing golf with his father or fishing with his sons, his father, family and friends. Dr. Green was a high school gymnast and pole vaulter, but has a deep passion for basketball that also runs deep in the DNA of all his sons.
Dr. Green wants to truly be a part of something special that GOD does for young student scholars through coaches, trainers, teachers, mentors, tutors, leaders and parents in the Greater-Houston area. He believes that the wisdom and resources he has gained from others over the years will be vital to the assessment, enrichment, development and success of students that matriculate through PSAT Academy.
