Good Day!
I graduated from Manchester University in 1993 earning a degree in mathematics and education. I earned my masters from University of New England in Educational Leadership.
I have taught in both traditional and non-traditional school settings. I have taught everything from sixth grade math through Calculus. I have tutored students from kindergarten through college.
During my free time, I enjoy spending time outside, cooking, crocheting, and working out at the gym.
