I am a highly qualified educator with a strong foundation in mathematics. I graduated from Robbinsville High School and pursued my passion for mathematics at Western Carolina University, earning a Bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics. Furthering my commitment to education, I obtained my teaching degree from Western Governors University.
Over the past decade, I have dedicated myself to the field of education, bringing my expertise to middle school classrooms as a 6th-grade math teacher. My journey in teaching has been both rewarding and fulfilling, allowing me to make a positive impact on the academic growth of my students.
Beyond the classroom, my life is enriched by my family. I share my life with my husband, Alan, and together we have been blessed with 5 children and 12 grandchildren. Family is at the core of my values, and I find immense joy in spending quality time with them. Additionally, I have a passion for exploration, enjoying the wonders of travel and the tranquility of hiking.
In essence, my life revolves around the pursuit of knowledge, the joy of teaching, and the warmth of family bonds. I am excited to share my experiences and insights.

Course Description:
The focus of this course is as follows:
Ratio and Proportional Relationships: Understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve problems.
The Number System: Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to divide fractions by fractions. Compute fluently with multi-digit numbers and find common factors and multiples. Apply and extend previous understandings of numbers to the system of rational numbers.
Expressions and Equations: Apply and extend previous understandings of arithmetic to algebraic expressions. Reason about and solve one-variable equations. Reason about one-variable inequalities. Represent and analyze quantitative relationships between dependent and independent variables.
Geometry: Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, surface area, and volume.
Statistics and Probability: Develop understanding of statistical variability. Summarize and describe distributions.
