Teacher: High School Mathematics and Middle School Robotics

Growing up in Southern California I always loved math, but I lost my enthusiasm by the time I graduated high school. Not because the content was too difficult, but because the way I was taught was so boring and tedious. In college, I rediscovered how interesting, challenging, and collaborative math could be and I never looked back. I decided to earn my Bachelor's in Mathematics and my Master's in Education so I could change the way math was being taught. I strove to bring my students applicable, hands-on challenges that change the way they think about and approach math. After 5 years, a life pivot took me to Switzerland, and after a year there another pivot landed me here in beautiful Fort Collins. I am so grateful to continue my teaching and learning journey at Compass, where student-centered learning and collaboration are some of the foundational values our school is built on.
