It's almost hard for me
to believe, but this is my 26th year as a
mathematics teacher! Every year of teaching
has been a great experience.
Hillview
has given me wonderful opportunities to teach, coach, and be a student
activities director. I hope that this year will open more opportunities
to grow and succeed.
I attended the University of California at Davis as an undergraduate. Immediately after graduation, I joined the United States Peace Corps.
I served as a high school teacher in the
southeastern African country of Malawi for two
years. Among the subjects that I taught were
mathematics, biology, and AIDS education.
During my service, I had the opportunity to
travel all over southern Africa.

After my
two years in the Peace Corps, I moved to New
York City to get my graduate degree from the
prestigious Teachers College at Columbia University.
After a wonderful education, I earned a
Masters in Mathematics Education.
While in New York City, I was very, very
fortunate to be able to teach at the Computer School (M.S. 245), one of the best middle
schools in the area, for three years.
This is my 23rd year at Hillview. Even though I'm known to be an 8th grade teacher, I've taught every grade and every math level from Math 6 to Algebra 2. Each year that I've taught was something special. It is my hope that this year will be as successful and enjoyable. |
