My teaching experience began as a high school mathematics teacher in Yuma, Arizona. Since that time, I have taught mathematics at the high school and college levels and mathematics education at the college level. These experiences have shaped my view of what it means to help children at the elementary and secondary levels learn mathematics.

 This is an exciting time for mathematics education. Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the development of new mathematics curricula has changed the way mathematics is taught in many schools. I am interested in helping teachers improve their teaching so that they can adapt to the changes necessary to implement these curricula effectively. For the past three years, I have taught methods courses for elementary and secondary pre-service teachers and teacher enhancement courses for in-service teachers. I have conducted teacher training workshops for the NSF-funded project MASP2.* My future research efforts will be focused on how teachers' content knowledge is related to their teaching approaches.
