I am a passionate mathematics educator with over a decade of experience teaching and designing curriculum for middle school, high school, and higher education. My goal is to help students see mathematics as more than formulas — as a powerful tool for problem-solving, critical thinking, and innovation.

I hold a B.S. in Mathematics (cum laude) from the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, a M.A. in Education in Educational Technology from Marian University, and I am completing my Ph.D. in Leadership at Marian University (ABD). I also hold certifications in online teaching, instructional design, and coaching.

I began my career at Union Grove High School, where I taught Algebra through Calculus and developed a new curriculum focused on Mathematics for the Trades, built upon real-world industry applications. During my tenure, I helped increase mathematics proficiency by 16% through aligning curriculum with Common Core standards and integrating innovative instructional technologies.

At the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, I have served as a Lecturer in educator development and as Director of Innovations in Technology, leading teams to design hybrid and online programs, including the university’s first fully online degree. My scholarship and national presentations focus on technology integration, application-based instruction, competency-based education and preparing students for 21st-century learning.

In addition to my work as an educator, I have spent more than 10 years in the data, technology, and AI sector, applying the very mathematical concepts I now teach. This industry experience shapes my instruction by showing students how math powers real-world innovation.

I have also completed professional education at MIT and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I studied innovation, organizational change, and new approaches to teaching and learning. I am committed to delivering mathematics instruction that optimizes technology and connects concepts to real-world industries, ensuring students gain both mastery and deeper understanding.
