Math and CS Teacher / 18 years at NV
Robotics Team Sponsor / Going into my third season with the team
Polish/American dual citizen. I moved to the US when I was in 3rd Grade. In middle school / high school I would often visit my family in Poland and my grandparents would take me hiking all over Poland and Czech Republic. The years that I did not go to Poland, my parents would take us on epic road trips throughout the US.
I love to travel. Some of the places I have been so far: Poland, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Italy, Mexico, Canada, and Jamaica.
