Small groups, individualized attention, student presentations, and silly puns are common place in my classes.

Since being a Math Tutor at James Madison University, I have taught students ranging from 3rd grade to their parents, returning to finish college, that mathematics is all around us full of fun, color, and excitement. In graduate school at Wake Forest University, I guided larger groups of students as a Teaching Assistant to help each other and find community in their mathematical work.  Bryn Mawr College brought me new opportunities to work with smaller groups and to practice various styles of teaching explored in the Perspectives in Mathematics Pedagogy course. After completing the requirements for the Dean’s Certificate in Pedagogy, I was honored with the Doris Sill Carland Prize for Excellence in Teaching for my dedication to my students success and compassion.

Since Bryn Mawr College, I’ve taught at Pennsylvania State University Abington, at Smith College, Lebanon Valley College, Williams and now at Franklin & Marshall College. I continually strive to create an inclusive classroom and with guidance that I gained from the Sherrered Center for Teaching & Learning, Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning, Quantitative Skills Program, and a lot of practical advice from my colleagues at Franklin & Marshall College.
