I have been working here at Blair Middle School for 23 years. I went into teaching all those years ago because I was tutoring, enjoying it way more than my job at the time and truly believed I could make a difference. Since then I have come to love my job even more and decided that I not only do I want to help our students achieve their best, but aid teachers in their jobs as well which is why I moved into the position of Math Department Chair. The overall goal is for teachers and students to have the most rewarding time in our Math classes as possible. I've taught Math 6, Math 7, Pre-Algebra and Algebra. While my son did not get to come to Blair when he was in Middle School, my daughter did and she loved the experience. Long story medium, I want every child possible to have as good of an experience here as my daughter did.
