Biographical Sketch
My teaching interests include College Algebra, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus I. I am the coordinator of Math 1011 - College Algebra and Math 1001 - College Algebra Recitation. I have spent many summers working with local elementary, middle school and high school mathematics teachers through Math and Science Partnerships (MSP) to increase their mathematics knowledge base and enrich their lesson presentation in the classroom. I also work as a curriculum developer for Great Minds writing curriculum and supplementary resources for K-12 teachers and students.
