Someone once asked me what my passion is in life. I had never thought about it, but the first two things that came to my mind were kids and math. I love working with children because they have a natural curiosity that longs to be satisfied. I love math because I find no greater satisfaction than working hard to solve a problem and final coming up with an undisputed result. Once I put my two passions together, I knew that I was meant to be a math teacher. I am currently a student at UW-LaCrosse and I hope to graduate in May 2004. My site is designed to give you a little background about me and to appeal to those interested in math education. Enjoy!
