Biography
At PA College, I am the math coordinator. In this role, I work to coordinate tutoring hours, class schedules, the transfer of courses and the assessment of courses. I am also an advisor to the InterVarsity Christian Fellowship (IVCF) Club.I am very interested in teaching applied mathematics. I have worked with a team of educators at PA College to develop open educational resources that link math and biology. The Quantitative Biology in Community Colleges project is a nationwide collaboration between math and biology instructors to create activities that link the two subjects.
Outside of PA College, I enjoy spending time with my family, my church and in my garden. I am very crafty and enjoy scrapbooking and sewing projects during breaks from school.
