Hi there! Although you may not see me in your AGS classes, I am around the school teaching ESL Algebra I, ESL Geometry, & CP Algebra II (with the possibility of someday turning it into an AGS class…). I graduated from Miami University with a major in Integrated Mathematics Education and minors in American Literature & Gerontology.

In my free time I enjoy getting out of Ohio as much as possible, as there are still so many places and faces I would like to encounter in this short life.
