Teacher Bio

Hi! I'm excited to begin my 20th year teaching junior high mathematics and 5th year teaching PAP Algebra 1! This will also be my 19th year in the district, my 16th year at BMJH (as an original staff member), 3rd year as the Math Department Leader for our campus, and my 2nd year as one of the Math and Science Club sponsors. I love my family, my students, and all things Disney! :)

I update Canvas regularly, and I communicate frequently through Canvas messenger (to the students) and Skyward email (parent/guardian). Whether I teach in person or online, I'm confident my classroom will be a space where students will flourish.

I will update the rest of the information below as soon as I get updates from administration (bell schedule, master schedule, etc.).

If you are interested in donating anything to my classroom this year, please visit my Amazon Wish List below. I look forward to a great year with everyone!

Corrections MUST be done IN TUTORIALS and NOT AT HOME! This is a campus policy. When students are in tutorials for CORRECTIONS, they MUST:
- Get the TEACHER signature DURING tutorials.
- Come back (if needed to finish) and get the signature again.
If students do NOT get the teacher signature and/or attend tutorials for corrections, the grade for the assignment will stay the same.
If I'm not available on a day they need, they can attend the tutorials of any other math teacher. Click here for a list of those days/times.
