Back to All Education, Mathematics Spotlights

I am currently teaching high school mathematics at Salem High School in New Hampshire. I have had the opportunity to teach geometry, algebra 2, pre-calculus, as well as co-teach a math class with a special educator that focuses on arithmetic and practical uses of math in the world. Along with teaching, I have coached soccer and tennis at the high school level and I received my masters in curriculum and instruction from Southern New Hampshire University.

I am so thankful for my education at St. Mike’s. It has helped me as a teacher, because I was able to take a wide selection of courses to broaden my understanding of mathematical concepts. Being able to take the Mathematics Education Seminar gave me the opportunity to teach lessons to my peers and receive specific feedback about my teaching. It was very helpful to hear different perspectives and ideas of how to become a better teacher. One of the great aspects of teaching is that you can reflect on each year and use what you learned to continue to grow and improve.
