Hi! I’m a high school math teacher with 10+ years of experience teaching in a small school district—which means I’ve taught just about everything from Algebra 1 all the way through AP Calculus and AP Statistics. I’ve also taught dual-credit and college-level education courses, so I’m always thinking about how to prepare students for what comes next.
