I have thirteen years of experience teaching mathematics, both in the brick and mortar classroom and online. My first goal in education is to build relationships with my students and fellow staff. I believe firmly that students "don't care how much you know until they know how much you care." - Theodore Roosevelt. My fuel for the hard days is remembering those relationships and the impact that I have been able to make In many lives through the years. I love running into former students and hearing all that they have accomplished since our time sharing a classroom.
