A Michigander living in Colorado since 2011. I am a seventh year teacher who has taught science, math intervention, and core math classes as well as being qualified to teach social studies, math, and if I'm in Indiana Science too! I have taught in Indiana and Colorado. A 2010 Valparaiso University graduate, I majored in middle school education concentrating in science and social studies but couldn't stay away from my love affair with math. This is the sixth year I will be attending MidSchoolMath national conference, and I have attended the excellent Taos PD as well. Currently a 7th grade teacher at Pinnacle Charter Middle School. Pinnacle Charter Middle School is located just north of Denver in Federal Heights, Colorado. Pinnacle is 75% Latino and is a Title 1 school. They have been a charter school in the Denver metro area since 1996.
