I've always had a passion for teaching. In high school I took an elective course called Teacher Cadet which was a course that was an introduction to teaching. I was a North Carolina Teaching Fellow which provided me with a scholarship to study eduation at University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW). While an undergrad at UNCW, I completed requirements for teaching high school mathematics. I then went on to receive an M.A.Ed. from Wake Forest in secondary science with a focus in physics.
For six years I taught high school in the Lyceum Academy of New Hanover High School. Teacher loop with their students through the junior and senior year core academic courses. The rigorous course of study in Lyceum emphasizes projects and applications. There is also an element of experiential learning which ties together classroom teaching with hands-on work and travel experiences. While there I taught AP Calculus AB/BC, Precalculus, and AP Statistics.
