Howdy, I'm Tonya Patton '90,
The Aggie Mama.
I help students succeed through mentoring and ministry
As an educator, a parent who has put two children through TAMU, and a former academic mentor with TAMU athletics, I am equipped to help your student navigate their way towards a rewarding and successful college experience. Through my career and as a parent I recognize the difference in maturity levels of individuals and their level of readiness for college academics. I have always had a passion for young people and tried to be a positive influence in their life. My greatest strengths as an educator are classroom management and organizational/planning. I am a firm believer that a person will be most successful if they are organized, set goals, and have a plan of action. As your student’s mentor, I will use my experience, knowledge, and skills to develop your student into a passionate and focused learner.
Life balance is an important part of the academic experience for young adults. This includes making time for fellowship, community, and rest. Through a faith-based approach to mentoring I will not only focus on academics but strive to develop a family relationship with the student as well. My husband and I moved back to Aggieland this past year and look forward to serving as “a home away from home” to many Aggies.
