Helping others succeed is my biggest passion. I have always been one to seek out challenges and push myself out of my comfort zone to better myself. I know how rewarding this is for myself, and I want to help others feel that same sense of accomplishment and fulfillment whether it’s in academics or life in general. Mathematics has always just clicked in my mind, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t faced challenges and obstacles along the way. That’s what is most rewarding to me – learning how to face challenges head-on and coming out the other side having gained invaluable knowledge. I hope to instill a similar confidence in my students to face their challenges head-on.
My post-secondary educational journey began at Iowa State University where I earned a B.S. in Accounting in 2017. Upon completion of undergraduate work, I worked in the public accounting field where I gained valuable experience both in business and character. Deciding that I wanted to pursue my passion of helping others succeed, what better way to do so than to become a teacher? I then made the jump to obtain a Master of Arts in Teaching with an endorsement in Secondary Education Mathematics from Liberty University. There is no more rewarding feeling to me than seeing the lightbulbs of both math and character illuminate in a student’s mind.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends on a nice patio, reading mystery novels, and going on walks with my Husky mix.
I believe that finding success in academics isn’t a standalone process; education is about rounding ourselves out to be the best we can be in all facets of life. I look forward to working with such diverse students and can’t wait to help each student grow. I offer support for students in elementary math, as well as all levels of algebra.
