I have been a Math educator since 1991, including nine years as a Curriculum Coordinator and three years as a school‑based Math Coach in a large urban district.

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.
