"I am a certified 5-8 Middle School Math teacher with 10 years of teaching experience. I bring an additional 25 years of professional career experience in the Financial Securities industry into my classroom every day. My emphasis in math teaching is to create for students the relevance of math in their every day lives both present and future.

I incorporate a variety of real world applications in my lessons with the intent of students recognizing the value of math as a life skill, not just an exercise to pass the next week's unit test.
