I am married to my wonderful husband, Greg, and we have two boys, Ian age 4 and Gavin age 1. Those three keep me busy playing and exploring.
With those few minutes of free time I get, I love reading, cooking, spending time with friends, and puzzles.
Education
I graduated from Virginia Tech with a degree in Ocean Engineering in 2007.
I worked for the Navy for 6 years as an engineer, then left to pursue a teaching degree.
In 2012 I completed Old Dominion University's Career Switcher program to be certified in Secondary Math Education.
Educational Career
I have worked at Corporate Landing Middle School in Virginia Beach, VA for the last 6 years teaching 8th grade math, Algebra, and Geometry.
I am the department lead for 8th grade math and am actively supporting new teachers.
I am pursuing my graduate degree at Radford University to refresh my knowledge on upper level math and learn new strategies for teaching them.
Where from here?
When I finish my graduate degree I'd like to pursue adjunct teaching at the local community college in addition to my current position. I also might be interested in teaching upper high school courses.
