My picture is my Halloween costume. I'm a "square root." hahaha

Why Do I Teach?:
Certainly not for the money as I made more my first year out of college in my first career than I do now. LOL Simply put, I want kids to love learning. Not a big feat with 4th graders, perhaps, but I work with the most challenging age group (8th/9th graders) and the most challenging subject (math)... and I absolutely love it!
