A teacher’s day is half bureaucracy, half crisis, half monotony, and one-eightieth epiphany.  Never mind the arithmetic. (Susan Ohanian)

Experience:

I have been teaching mathematics since the days of the “new math”.  Starting in a city junior high, I have also taught in a rural NY middle school, high schools in Washington DC, Ontario NY and Pittsford-Mendon, a suburb of Rochester NY.  When I moved to Mesa in 1986, I started teaching beginning algebra for SMCC at our “satellite” campus, ASU.  I have taught all levels of mathematics through Brief Calculus but have focused on the courses for elementary teachers for the last ten years.
