"I graduated from the University of Cincinnati where I studied elementary education. I am certified to teach grades 1-8. I also completed post graduate work at Loyola College where I studied Education Management and Supervision. I have over 18 years experience teaching grades 4,5 and 6. While I have experience teaching all subjects, my passion is math. I have been involved in training other teachers in my district in guided math as well as student teachers from local universities. In addition, I have received the Martha Holden Jennings Teacher Award for Excellence in Mathematics Education."
