I am an adjunct instructor at CCSU in the Department of Mathematical Sciences and the Mathematics Department Chair at New Britain High School.  In my teaching, I have always been most interested in the application of math and how mathematical thinking and problem solving are used in authentic real-life situations.  When not teaching, I enjoy being outside and traveling.  In the summer of 2023, I was able to spend two weeks exploring Portugal!

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences. I have always been fascinated by the “magic” of turning mathematical equations into phenomena observed in physics, chemistry, or biology. As an applied mathematician I have been working on mathematical problems arising in geophysics and material science. Recently I started several projects on mathematical modeling for life sciences. I like incorporating applications in my teaching of mathematics. When I do not teach or work on a research paper, I like hiking and exploring new places.

I am a mathematics educator with experience teaching mathematics at all levels from grades 7 to university mathematics. At CCSU, I teach many courses for future and current elementary and secondary mathematics teachers in which I use research on how we learn mathematics to help teachers design and plan classroom instruction. In my free time, I enjoy traveling with my husband, swimming and kayaking, and reading historical fiction.
