I have been active in education for more than 17 years as a teacher, instructional coach, workshop presenter, and designer of mathematics programs at the K-12 level.  I completed my graduate study in mathematics education at Fresno Pacific University and have recently been providing professional development as part of a CaMSP research grant focused on increasing teachers’ mathematical content knowledge and improving pedagogical strategies. I have a passion for authentic assessment, problem solving, and the role of conceptual understanding in mathematics learning. As an instructor with Fresno Pacific University, I facilitate 10 professional development courses focused on mathematics teaching and learning.
