Bio: I grew up in the Paul Smith's area and call it my home. I graduated from Lake George High School and lived in the Albany area as well, but find the Adirondacks call me back whenever I leave. I enjoy teaching and learning and I have found the perfect place to work and learn.

Interests & Activities: My dissertation " Understanding College Students’ Disconnections with Mathematics" has been completed and I have been awarded my doctoral degree. My interests are in the Reform of Mathematics Teaching and Reflective Practice.

I like to kayak, camp, and, cook as well as most other outdoor activities.
