...into different contexts, places, and times. I am currently reading "Cress", the third book in the Lunar Chronicles series by Marissa Meyer. "Cress" is based on the story of Rapunzel and is woven into the previous novels "Cinder" (based on Cinderella) and "Scarlet" (based on Little Red Riding Hood). In addition to reading, TV, and movies, I like to do counted cross-stitch and crochet. I finally taught myself how to knit, too.... I work with my students to help them make connections between classroom learning and life outside of school. I seek to provide them with the tools they need to handle issues they will encounter in daily life, as well as the tools they will need to progress their learning of mathematics. Moreover, I do so by designing learning activities that capitalize on the diverse learning styles and experiences that students may have; I seek to make learning an active process by using students' own experiences as a source for contextualizing mathematics.

I am a neuroscience and global mental health researcher with a Masters from Vanderbilt University. I love teaching and learning and sharing that joy with others. I am also a trained ESL teacher.
