Experience
I have 8 years of classroom teaching experience. I spent four years teaching 7th-grade math at a public middle school and four years teaching math at a private high school. I have taught 7th-grade math, AIG 7th grade, Algebra I, Algebra II, Honors Algebra II, and Advanced Functions and Modeling.
Teaching style
I want my students to understand math and therefore fall in love with it. I enjoy using card sorts, partner activities, and anything that gets my students talking about math, moving around the room, and thinking outside the box.
I love using discussion in the math classroom. When planning lessons, I think of ways to get students asking the questions and guiding the lesson pace and thought process. My math activities are designed for students to engage with the math material and with each other.
My own education history
I had an amazing Algebra and Algebra II teacher who was also my high school cheer coach. She instilled in me a love of math and my desire to become a teacher. In college, I majored in Mathematics and Secondary Education.
Additional biographical information
I am a math-loving, Jeopardy-watching, Kansas-born girl in Charlotte, North Carolina. In my free time, I enjoy finding new walking trails, learning piano with my hubby, and spending time with friends.
