I believe that all students can learn given the opportunity, educational resources, and time to do so. If students are struggling, appropriates intervention measures should be in place to help students succeed in their mathematics classes. Technology can be helpful to improve student understanding but, I firmly students should have an individual to assist them when they are having conceptual issues with a subject area.

I attended Arkansas State University from 1983 to 1989 and received a Bachelor’s Degree of Education in Mathematics. I received a Master’s Degree in Mathematics in 1991. I am currently working on Curriculum Program Administrator degree from Harding University. I will be finished with this degree in 2016.

I have been an educator for 22 years. I spent seven years teaching at the college level. For the past fifteen years, I taught mathematics at the secondary level. Additionally, I have taught ACT prep during the summer months for past 14 years.

I enjoy playing the guitar and singing. I study the Common Core State Standards for mathematics. I have sponsored the Junior Class for twelve years. I read and study the Bible to help maintain my mental sharpness.
