About me
I am an independent mathematics specialist from northeast Ohio, working in schools to support the learning of K-12 educators and young people across northeast Ohio and Pennsylvania. I was the Mathematics Specialist for Stow-Munroe Falls City Schools in Ohio from 2004-2014.
I served as the Executive Director of the Ohio Council of Teachers of Mathematics (OCTM) from 2016 to 2023 and am a past president. I was honored to receive the 2025 Christofferson-Fawcett Lifetime Contribution Award from OCTM.
I stay actively involved in the Association for Mathematics Teacher Educators, TODOS: Mathematics For All, the Benjamin Banneker Association, the Northeast Ohio Mathematics Specialists, the Ohio Mathematics and Science Coalition, and the Greater Akron Mathematics Educators' Society. I am especially invested in the equity and advocacy work that are prioritized by all of these organizations.
I am also the founder and Executive Director of the Coalition for Mathematics for Human Flourishing (CMHF), a nonprofit organization. The mission of CMHF is to gather and share stories of people’s lived experiences to broaden views of mathematics and to advance human rights and human flourishing in school mathematics and beyond.
I am a proud graduate of Bowling Green State University and earned my Master’s and doctoral degrees in Curriculum and Instruction: Mathematics Education from Kent State University.
