About the store

Experience

I have been teaching and creating my own resources since 2014. I have experience teaching Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2 (including Pre-AP/Pre-IB), and Pre-Calculus. I have taught special education collaborative classes, honors classes and ESL classes.

Teaching style

I love for my notes to be organized and scaffolded, so students feel ready to tackle the hard problems when they get to them instead of being scared away. I try to use fun review games like Bingo, jeopardy, and other powerpoint/smartboard games to get students excited about the material! Task cards in the classroom is also a must! There are a million uses for them and they help break up the monotony of worksheets! I believe that my enthusiasm for math will motivate my students to succeed and begin to like math a little bit more in my classroom.

Awards & shining teacher moments

My own education history

I have a B.S. in Mathematics and an M.Ed. in Secondary Mathematics Education (7-12)

Additional biographical information

In addition to teaching, I love to read and be outside. I love traveling and I love going to the beach. If I wasn't a math teacher, I would have loved to be a science teacher, and I'm working towards being dual certified to teach math and science. Questions about me or my products?
