a Middle School and High School Math Teacher in Baltimore City. During her years as a teacher in the
city, she served as a department chair and as part of the instructional leadership team. After a few
years, she expanded her teaching experience by moving abroad to teach math at an international school
in Asia, teaching students from all around the world. Upon returning due to the COVID pandemic, she
took on the role of the Director of Math Instruction at a middle high school in Baltimore City where she
coached and led instruction for math teachers. In addition, she continued her love for teaching math as
an adjunct professor.

spread her joy of math and to provide opportunities for all students to explore and become confident
innovative thinkers.

games, go fishing, and travel.
