Hobbies

I am a third year teacher who graduated with her masters in mathematics May 2014. I majored in mathematics while in college because I had a strong passion for the subject and for helping others have the same love for math that I have. I work on breaking down math concepts conceptually so that students really understand what they are learning. I am part of the Urban Teachers Fellowship and absolutely love teaching and helping others. I love basketball and played basketball until I got into college.
