Fun Facts: I have written books with three Lesley alum and I LOVE ice cream.
I began my career as an elementary school teacher and felt as if I could see into my students’ heads when I was helping them learn mathematics. So, I decided to learn more about how to teach math and ended up at Lesley. I believe that learning requires active participation and reflection and am always amazed at what I learns from my students. I love teaching and can’t imagine a different career.
