I am a graduate of The Unsinkable Albany State University. I received my Bachelor of Science in special education with a focus on mathematics and English language arts. Since graduation, I have furthered my education earning my masters and educational specialist degrees in special education with a focus on deaf education all while teaching middle school math full time and coaching girls' basketball. While I have experience teaching a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about mathematics. In my experience, students only struggle in math because they truly do not see it impacting their everyday lives. I am a firm believer that if you make it culturally relevant and provide time for engaging dialogue, math can be fun. In my spare time, I enjoy participating in community service events, playing board games, going to the gym, and being adventurous in the great outdoors.
