I hold a B.S. in Mathematics and M.A. in Curriculum and Teaching, both received from Michigan State University. Prior to coming to Higher Ed, I worked as a high school Math teacher for 10 years. Having built a desire for college level math readiness, I now work at Michigan State University on a variety of bridge programs assisting in closing the gap between high school and college Mathematics. I also teach several gateway courses, allowing me to be in tune with the struggles students continually face.

Challenged with the opportunity to offer a majority of these programs in an online format, I have taken to WebAssign as the platform for design and delivery. The ability to customize, adjust and track reliable data has provided an environment that has shown student success. Now, having completed multiple programs over three years, I continue to see the benefits of the Cengage product line.

My current projects include a STEM-readiness grant being implemented at the high school level and assistance with the design of a quantitative literacy track at Michigan State University.
