With over 10 years of secondary public school teaching experience and a Master of Education in Educational Technology, I am a seasoned educator with a current NC professional teaching license in secondary social studies. My expertise includes developing a student lab at Blue Ridge Community College, where I taught remedial mathematics skills to students transitioning from secondary to post-secondary education, including algebra classes. I have also created remedial algebra courses for the NC Community College system and a HiSET GED eLearning curriculum for high school equivalency students. My diverse background in both technology and teaching equips me to deliver engaging and effective learning experiences in algebra and mathematics.
