Meet the Teacher

This is my 2nd year at the  Ottoson,  but I have more than a decade of teaching 8th grade math, mostly in the Medford public schools.  I love doing math, thinking about math and teaching math.  I'm excited for this new chapter in my teaching career and look forward to a great year!

I have elementary aged twin daughters, a supportive spouse and a very cute black cat.  I enjoy walking outdoors, paddleboarding and playing board games with my family.  When I can find time, I enjoying using my math & creative skills for crafting.  

I am looking forward to meeting all my student this year!
