I have been teaching mathematics for 11 years and started teaching at Willowcreek Middle School in 2015. I received my B.A. from California Baptist University in 2008, and went on to achieve my California secondary mathematics credential from Chapman University in Orange, CA. In 2012 I earned a Masters of Education in math curriculum and instruction from University of Texas, Arlington. I have taught high school math (grades 9-12) for 5 years, most recently at Barstow High School (California), and was privileged to teach 8th graders at Barstow Junior High School for 1 year. I moved to Utah in 2014 and taught Honors 9th, Honors 7th, and 8th grade math at North Star Academy. I am currently level 2 licensed in the state of Utah to teach secondary math with a level 4 math endorsement. I enjoy working with the math team at Willowcreek to maintain the high level of student engagement and collaboration that creates student success.
