I am a storyteller by nature, and I believe teaching--regardless of the subject-- is storytelling at the core. Instead of tales of fantasy and fiction, however, these are stories about how the world works.

I enjoy swimming, being outdoors, and pets.

One of my greatest joys is when a student who has struggled says they now think math is fun!

Learning is what goes on inside one's head and teaching is what goes on outside! In my experience this is true across ages and geography and subject matter.
