Summary

Before becoming a stay at home mom, I was a secondary math teacher in the Austin, Texas area. I currently hold two Texas educator certifications; 4-8 mathematics and 8-12 mathematics. My passion for math education hasn't changed, and I look forward to the opportunity of exploring new industry standards in curriculum and instruction.
