I first earned my National Board Certification in Early Adolescent Mathematics in 2010 and renewed it in 2020 for another ten years. I specialize in creating standards‑aligned, classroom‑tested lessons, tasks, and activities designed to support deep understanding and make teaching more effective and enjoyable for both teachers and students.
