About Me

I am an avid problem solver and tend to live by the phrase, "If it's not broke, break it!" I like to know how things work, and figure out how to make them work better. Maybe it's not a surprise to know that MacGyver was my childhood hero. I tend to apply the rapid prototyping process to my work teaching. I would rather be making progress by getting things done rather than talking; taking small steps toward larger goals while constantly reevaluating each step and communicating with those involved and changing course as necessary.

I have been teaching math at the high school level since 2007 and am looking to get a second endorsement in Technology Integration. My colleagues would describe me as always trying to insert technology into my teaching, personal projects, and guiding them to do so as well. In the math department I have become the defacto go to person for whenever there is a problem with our printer, iPads, LMS, or really anything technical. I try to lead by example with my teaching and have introduced students and fellow teachers to the myriad ways that technology can make their work not only more efficient, but have greater impact. I hope you see that in the evidence I have compiled.
