I am big on making cross-curricular and career connections to the material that we're learning. I try to make math relevant to everyday life and I like to make learning fun.

I am a committed environmentalist. I participated in an Earthwatch Institute fellowship, Climate Change at the Arctic's Edge, in Churchill, Manitoba in 2011. I had the privilege of working with 11 other teachers from across the U.S. and an international climate researcher in a part of the world that is absolutely fascinating. While in the Churchill area I saw a polar bear and beluga whales up close. Awesome!
