Biography and expertise
Originally from Minnesota, I graduated with my B.S. in Mathematics from Minnesota State University, Mankato and then completed my Ph.D. in Mathematics from Iowa State University in 2010. It was as a graduate student at Iowa State University that I fell in love with teaching mathematics. After graduating, I taught mathematics for many years at Dalton State College, a public four-year college in Dalton GA. In the summer of 2026 I moved to Texas to continue my teaching career at Texas State University. In addition to teaching and mathematics, I also enjoy board games, music (my favorite band for many years has been The Smashing Pumpkins), reading, and video games.
