Milestones
My road in life has been direct.
I come from a family of teachers.
My mom had me tutor other students starting in elementary school because I talked to much when I finished my work.
Through out school, I realized how easy math was for me to understand.
I originally have my bachelor degree in Interdisciplinary Studies (elementary ed) but I also double minored in math with education.
I taught high school math classes at a junior high and realized I wanted to either teach older or younger students.
I got my masters degree in Math Education.
