    I am a math lecturer at NC State University in Raleigh, NC. I am currently teaching Finite Math and am a section coordinator and teacher for PreCalculus. I have graduate students who are working alongside me. Prior to teaching at NC State, I spent four years at Meredith College as an adjunct math professor.

    I am thankful for all my teachers at St. Mike’s who fostered my love of mathematics. I learned in my classes how to work with fellow faculty and that even as a teacher, I still have the ability to learn from my students and peers. I am appreciative of the close relationships I have formed with my professors at St. Mike’s and for how much they cared about my learning. I hope that I can show my own students that I am there for them and want to help them understand the material. I appreciated all the office hours that they held so I could further my own knowledge. Having students in my office learning math and chatting about life in general reminds me of my time at St. Mike’s and sitting in my own professor’s offices. I am thankful for the close-knit community we have, and while my classes are much larger in size, I hope I can still impart my own love of math.
