About Me
I'm super passionate about teaching mathematics. I've been doing so for over twelve years—ten of which have been for the Technical College System of Georgia where I served as the Program Coordinator for Learning Support Mathematics at Southern Crescent Technical College and was awarded the Rick Perkins Award for Excellence in Technical Instruction. Presently, I'm a mathematics instructor at Clayton State University in Morrow, GA, and my research interests include issues of equity in mathematics, mathematics help-seeking, and hierarchical linear modeling.
