My Story

My husband calls me a learning sponge, no matter what the topic I want to learn the ‘what’ and the ‘why’: the causes and relationships. Thus it was natural to me to follow a meandering path and become a teacher. As I love to learn, I am always striving to learn new approaches to teaching, new ways to infect students with a love for, or at least an understanding that they can learn, mathematics.
