About me...

I am currently in my 23rd  year teaching Community College math and in my seventh year Sierra Community College.  Previously, I taught 14 years teaching math at DeAnza College in Cupertino CA.  I earned my Masters of Science in Mathematics from University of Oregon in 1990.

My favorite aspect of teaching math is helping students succeed.  I enjoy teaching a variety of classes ranging from basic arithmetic to Calculus.   I understand that learning math is very challenging and requires a lot of hard work.  It is my job to help students learn and retain the material so they can succeed in their goals. 

I believe the most important aspect of any math class is doing the homework, asking questions and re-doing the homework.  Students must have adequate time in their schedule to finish all assigned homework. 

My husband and I have three awesome kids ages 20, 18 and 13.  My days are full of teaching and grading and being a mom. In my rare but spare time I enjoy quilting and nature photography.
