Back to All Education, Mathematics Spotlights

I am currently an 8th grade math teacher at Berlin Central School in Cherry Plain, NY and I love it! I had taught at the high school level and enjoyed that very much as well. Teaching is a wonderful thing. I also just recently completed my Master’s Degree in Educational Psychology and perhaps will begin my Doctorate degree in administration as well.

My Saint Michael’s education in mathematics helped me when I was teaching high school classes at a different school, but as for 8th grade I had to go back and re-learn some things. Saint Michael’s did prepare me for tutoring other entry-level college students with their calculus work, as well as teaching students trigonometry in high school. However, what it really did was prepare me for my graduate work; I was fully prepared based on the education I received at Saint Michaels for the time and work one has to put into a graduate degree in order to excel.
