This means I studied how to do math and how students learn math. I graduated with a PhD from North Carolina State University and since then, I've taught math for K-12 future teachers as well as math courses for non-STEM majors. I also taught high school math before going to graduate school. I am passionate about helping students overcome their fear and anxiety about math. Math can be a difficult subject, but I enjoy helping students understand both the how and why of mathematics. I want my students to gain confidence in their abilities to problem solve.

["I enjoy reading, especially historical fiction, hiking, and spending time with my 3 dogs."]
