I feel privileged to be part of the professional team of educators that make
up St. Mark Catholic School. I was born in Brooklyn, New York, attended
college in Maryland, and moved to Wilmington 14 years ago. I graduated from
Johns Hopkins University with a B.S. in Mathematical Sciences. I completed
the teacher certification program at UNCW specializing in middle grades math
and I earned a Masters Degree in Middle Grades Education at UNCW. Mathematics
is truly one of my passions and I thoroughly delight in sharing that with my
students!
My family includes my husband of 23 years, a son and daughter in college, and
two very fussy cats. Yes, I have survived the middle school years! My
favorite pastime is playing tennis and I also love to read and do crossword
puzzles.
My mission is to actively engage my students in making sense of mathematics
while developing confidence in their mathematical ability. Middle school
learners are increasing their capacity for abstract thinking. My mission
includes designing a curriculum that strengthens computational skills and
provides opportunities for expanding mathematical reasoning.
