Objective
I see the world through a mathematical lens - for me, mathematics relates to all aspects
of the world around us. This has become a prominent part of my teaching practice and is
the foundation for my lessons. I want students to see mathematics as more than just
numbers and formulas. Connecting mathematics to the real-world in a way that
compliments the individual interests and passions of my students has become the focus
of my practice.
