| My favorite book of the Bible | I like the Gospels, especially Matthew, Mark, and Luke. I also like Acts. I enjoy the Bible not only for its message but also for its historical context, and I think these books in particular give a sense for what it was like in that time period. |
| Education & Certification | I hold a B.S. in Secondary Mathematics Education and an M.Ed in STEM Leadership. I am currently certified by the Mid-South Association of Independent Schools (MAIS) to teach a variety of subjects including computer science. |
| Experience | While I did teach math in public school for a few years, those degrees book-end a career spent in technology, largely as a software developer. I bring my extensive experience, not only in creating technical products but also in the process of creating technical products, to every class that I teach. |
| What My Classroom is Like | Learning for me should be a fun experience, so even though I am very focused on the material we are studying, I believe we can have a good time while doing so. Learning should also be relevant and have a purpose, so I like to give lots of real-world examples and connections. |
| When I’m not Teaching or Working… | I like sports and played several growing up. I also like to read and work in the yard. The best part of my job is creating the projects that we then do in class. Coming up with new ideas, figuring out how to make them work, then preparing and teaching the lessons is a blast! |
