My life is a tapestry crafted by a range of life experiences. I graduated college with a degree in mathematics, which trained me in analytical and critical thinking. Those skills helped me navigate my first job as a military intelligence officer in the Army. Beyond the analytical aspect of my job, my Army career experience also taught me how to be an effective project manager and a team member. I achieved objectives while valuing the different perspectives of the soldiers for whom I worked and of those who worked for me. Those skills, in turn, helped me when I transitioned out of the Army and became a mother and a certified educator.

Life's greatest mission? Raising three remarkable children, each unique in their ways of learning. Deciphering their individual needs helped me become a better math educator. The joy of igniting that "aha!" moment fueled my passion for education, ultimately guiding me to instructional design. Now, I channel my life experiences into building learning experiences that resonate with diverse learners, ensuring every mind unlocks its full potential.
