Career Accomplishments/Goals: Going back to Fredonia to complete my master's degree immediately following my undergraduate work was very important to me. While a graduate student, I had the opportunity to teach part-time at the university, and I enjoyed teaching MATH 108. Following my master's, I moved to Northern Virginia to begin my career at a school that I fell in love with! Since my first placement at Fredonia freshman year, I have wanted to teach in a middle school, and I am excited to to be teaching 6th grade!
Memories of Fredonia: The best Pi Day ever (Harry Pi-Ter), teaching MATH 108, Camp Comets, AMTNYS, Seaway during grad school, getting to be a part of the math department (the best department on campus!)
