My own education history

I studied mathematics in college and then went on to earn a Master of Arts degree in education and special education. I did my undergrad and graduate degrees within 3.5 years and will never regret that decision because at the age of 21 I began what I love most: teaching. Now, I am pursuing my doctorate in educational leadership and curriculum development.

Additional biographical information

I have a Bachelor's degree in mathematics, a Master's degree in teaching and special education and I've contributed to several Boston based mathematics textbook companies. Currently, I am working on my doctorate. I am also the President of a local math organization.
