"My belief is that all students can “do math.” That belief drives my everyday teaching. Whenever I can think of more than one way to solve a problem, I will show the students different approaches. When they ask me which method I want them to use, I always tell them to use the way that makes the most sense to them. I want all of my students to believe that they really can learn math. I also like to remind them that, unlike other courses, they can often leave a test with a pretty good idea of how they did on the assessment because they can check their answers. 

What do I like about math? The exactitude and the algorithms. The precision and the creativity. The challenges and the struggles. The exercise for my brain.

And here is a fun fact about myself! When my siblings and I were born, my grandmother would send a ceramic angel to my mother to celebrate each newborn. Boy angels for my brothers and girl angels for my sisters and me. Each angel represented our birth month. Back then, school started in September, after Labor Day. My birthday is in September, so I received a girl angel holding a school book. Not just any school book, mind you, it was a math book. So I think I was always meant to be a math teacher!"
