I originally came from the San Francisco Bay Area to Washington State as an AmeriCorps volunteer, after spending a few years working at a computer security company. I have been teaching Math and Computer Science since 2006 and am excited to be here at Roosevelt this year, teaching AP Computer Science in Java, AP Computer Science Principles, and AP Precalculus. Programming and advanced math isn’t just for scientists and engineers, but it gives us all the tools to make decisions, evaluate laws, understand the historical development, and write the literature that reflects on the human condition in this ever-evolving world of technology.

Most of my time outside of school is spent on baseball, with my cat, or practicing piano. I’ve witnessed 3 total solar eclipses in person and hope to add to that total in the future. One of my favorite summer vacation spots is an annual family trip to San Diego. Otherwise, I’m always looking for excuses to visit new places and it always helps if it includes a MLB park in the area!
