Yanna Elliott

Program Manager - Developmental Mathematics

 I was born and grew up in a large and ancient city called Xi’an, China. I moved to Plainview, Texas in 2000 and have enjoyed the small-town life ever since. In the past, I have taught K-12 in China, Thailand and United States. I also have 15 years of experience as an adjunct professor at Wayland Baptist University. When not teaching, I enjoy spending time with family, friends, and watching my children grow. Teaching is my passion. The greatest reward I have received is when students tell me that I made a difference in their lives.
