I went to the Ohio State University and earned my Bachelor's degree in marketing...which was wonderful...but after working a few years I kept thinking to myself, "Why am I not teaching math?" I would not say I am a great singer, or athlete, or chef, but I do have a great passion for math and teaching it to those who do not (which is most, right!?). I feel it is "my thing," and I have been told that I have a way of explaining it in a very clear, understandable, positive way.

I went back to school to earn my Masters degree in mathematics education with a 4.0 GPA and truly feel that I'm doing now what I was meant to do. Even as a child, my family tried to get me in all sorts of sports (which I enjoyed) but I would beg them to race me doing math problems and buy me more math books and computer games. I should've figured out sooner this was my obvious career!

I have been teaching and tutoring primarily Algebra the past 5 years at a college in Orlando (please feel free to look me up on RateMyProfessors.com) Before that I taught Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, and Geometry at a local high school.

It is my goal to provide encouraging, respectful, and successful tutoring to help you reach your own goals. I know that it can be tough, but also know that when you find that perfect career or take on and then pass a difficult course, that feeling is worth the time and work.

Outside of teaching, I have a fabulous husband, I always brag about him as the first in his family to go to college, let alone medical school. He has an incredible story. I also have a French bulldog named Walter that is without a doubt the most spoiled pup in all the land. I love Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, the occasional Netflix binge...kayaking, festivals, travel, bowling...we are always looking for something new to try or place to go. I do LOVE football, of course my Buckeyes. Being from Ohio I have to root for Lebron too! My fantasy football team name is WeaponsOfMathInstruction

Thank you for your time, I hope to meet and work with you soon!
