Welcome to my class!  I am the proud spouse of an Active Duty Master Sergeant in the United States Air Force, and mother of a recent Madison graduate who is serving in the US Army.  I have had the great priviledge of living in several countries, including Japan, Germany, Egypt, and Italy.  I bring not only exciting math content to the classroom, but also anecdotes comprised of world-travels, cultural revelations and interesting sites.  I have a profound love for animals and bugs (yes... bugs!), and a deep conection with all things musical.  My hobbies include reading, writing novels (no... I'm not famous - yet!), gardening, and taking courses for my future graduate degree.
