Hi. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics and minors in Statistics and Manufacturing Engineering Technology. I worked as a shipping supervisor until the business I worked for closed down in 2019. I was then offed an emergency license to teach 8th grade math. In 2020, my emergency license was extended to virtually teach Foundations of Algebra. In 2021, I was asked to teach Geometry for 10-12th grade students. I'm currently an Office Administrator, however, I missed the time I spent tutoring the students, and I'm hoping to help more students find some understanding and enjoyment in math.

I have worked solely in the HVAC world. I have sat behind a computer designing and modeling HVAC and plumbing systems for commercial buildings to being in the field as a mechanical contractor installing these systems. Currently, I am a project manager where I manage each of my projects from start to finish. Each client/job has its own set of unique restraints that require out of the box thinking to deliver the best results for the customer. I Love Tutoring Because it gives me an opportunity to give back. Without the tutors and teachers that I had in my life, I firmly believe that I wouldn't have continued down the career path that I did. I want to help others reach their goals and continue to push forward academically in life.

"Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today. "- Malcolm XI got into tutoring because it is a way for me to make some extra money from the comfort of my own home. I have a toddler, so I am able to spend time with her, while still fulfilling my calling of teaching others. I currently work in an elementary school, going on my sixth year of teaching. I enjoy working with students and ensuring that they fully grasp a concept before moving on. If students are struggling to understand, I really try to help them understand in another way. Not everyone learns the same, so why should teaching all be the same?One of my favorite quotes is "Giving the gift of knowledge is giving the one gift that will never need to be returned." It truly shows that teachers don't need anything in return for their time. Helping to teach someone isn't something that needs a thank you, although it is always appreciated also!
