I am excited to work with each of you this year!
This school year will be my 6th year of teaching, all of which have been as the 7th grade math teacher here at NEST+m. Over the years, I've worked to create a class which is both challenging and supportive. My biggest hope for my students is that they leave my class feeling like they have the math skills to critically examine our world and support the work they go on to do in order to make the world a better place.
This year, we will have a student teacher in Prealgebra! Nina Svirsky will be joining us. She attended NEST+m and graduated as the valedictorian of her class.
When I'm not teaching math, I serve as the advisor for the MG Sexuality and Gender Alliance (SAGA) and the MG Nerd Coalition, and also coach one of the MG Math Teams.
I hope we find ways to have those clubs return this year, even in our most remote existence!
