She earned her MEd in Mathematics Education Bob Jones University in 1993 and wrote a thesis in partial fulfillment of that degree entitled An Examination of Factors in High School Mathematics Instruction that Affect College Students' Aptitude in and Attitude toward Mathematics. From her own earliest days of learning Algebra, she not only enjoyed the math for its own sake, but loved helping others to understand it as well. She is passionate about teaching basic-level math courses like Math 101 (Basic College Math), Math 102 (Intermediate College Math), Math 103 (College Algebra), and Math 110 (Math for Teachers). Her goal is to help students to build a secure mathematical foundation either for future math courses or for life applications.
