I've had the pleasure of teaching upper school math (6th grade math through AP Calculus, but not all at the same time!) here at Grace since 2002. I have an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering from Virginia Tech (go Hokies!), an M.S. in Applied Mathematics from Johns Hopkins University and an M.A. in Secondary Math Education from Western Governors University. I worked as an engineer and software analyst in a corporate setting for over 10 years before finding a calling in teaching. I have two sons who attend GRACE an 11th grader and an 8th grader. My husband and I are very active in a small, growing and spiritually vital church.

One of the things I enjoy most about GRACE, both as a teacher and a parent, is a rigorous curriculum that also has an emphasis on hands-on, project-based learning that gets students really involved with the material they are studying. I am also most grateful to work in a setting where students can get their aim and focus on Christ while also learning what they need to go on to college and their careers.
