I am a native of Rockbridge County. I earned my Bachelors' degree in math from Roanoke College and my Master's in education from Mary Baldwin. In my classroom you will find that have special interests in applied mathematics and chaos theory. I am also an outdoors enthusiast who enjoys pretty much anything that involves getting on the river or up in the mountains.
I am a strong believer that all students can be successful given enough time. I am a proponent of the mastery learning model which allows students many attempts through formal assessment to "master" a topic before moving on to the next. It is essential that students fully grasp one topic before moving to the next in most math courses.
