Welcome to South Brunswick High! I've been teaching math for over nine years, and this is my third year at SBHS. Overall, I have 12 years of teaching experience. I received my BS in Education from Penn State University (go Nittany Lions!) and I'm currently working on my Master's degree from NCCU. I have high expectations for my students! My goal is to create a learning environment that allows all types of learners to communicate, practice, and master all concepts needed so that students are fully prepared for Math 3.
In my spare time, I am obsessed with spending time with my family. I love baking and eating...maybe a little too much! I love storms, the color blue, and trying new things. I hope to connect with my students and get to know each individual and meet their needs as best as possible.

2.5 inch binder with notebook paper and dividers
pencils (I recommend mechanical), highlighters in multiple colors, and a ruler
Honors: recommend a TI-83 or TI-84 calculator. Not mandatory, but it will make your life easier
free option: a graphing calculator app. My favorite is Wabbit (not available on Apple products)
Ethics, honesty, and integrity are integral components of the academic process. Students are expected to be honest and ethical at all times in their pursuit of academic goals in accordance with Brunswick County Schools District Policy 4310.
These components are:
● Cheating - The actual giving or receiving of any unauthorized assistance or the actual giving or unfair advantage on any form of academic work.
● Plagiarism - The copy of the language, structure, idea and/or thought of another represented as one’s own original work.
● Falsification - The verbal or written statement of any untruth.
● Violation of Copyright Laws - Unauthorized reproduction, duplication and/or use of electronic work, computer software, or other copyrighted material.
● Forgery - A written misrepresentation, as in a signature.
Any student found in violation of the policy will be subject to the following consequences:
First Offense - The student receives a zero and is not allowed to make up the work. A parent or guardian is contacted, and the teacher documents the offense and parent contact within the school’s internal system. It is not part of the student’s permanent record.
Second Offense - The student receives a zero and is not allowed to make up the work. A parent or guardian is contacted, and the teacher documents the offense in Educator Handbook. An administrator follows up with parent contact and the offense becomes part of the student’s transcript.
