As the Math Motivators Senior Program Specialist, I work closely with the Director of Programs to support the implementation and management of Math Motivators. In addition to being responsible for Des Moines and Philadelphia, I also lead and support Math Motivators staff for other cities, ensuring that the program delivers high-quality tutoring services to students in need. Prior to joining the Math Motivators team, I was a former middle school math teacher of over 20 years focusing mainly on 7th and 8th grade math but hold a BS in Mathematical Sciences with an option in Secondary Education. I enjoy painting and salsa dancing in my spare time while also maintaining a passion for improving student outcomes in math.
