I am an educator at heart, and I have enjoyed sharing knowledge in a manner that others can understand for over 20 years. I approach teaching with a growth mindset. I engage students through games, have the students actually work problems and share their thinking, incorporate their interests, and include life application.

 I am a Math Interventionist, and Adjunct Developmental Math Professor. In the past, I have served as a Regional Math Coach (Elementary),  taught 2nd  Math/Science (on-level and gifted), 3rd grade Math, and worked as a private Math and  Reading Interventionist  (grades 2 – 12) for several Title I schools, private and faith-based schools.  Many of my students received commendations on standardized math tests.   Since 2009, the opportunity to teach for a community college has been my delight. The courses include Pre-algebra, Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, and Mathematics for Business and Social Sciences.  The class formats include face-to-face, online and hybrid.  In addition, I enjoy working with ESL students.
