I have always enjoyed teaching mathematics and, so far, I have been teaching math for 21 years. I received my B.S. degree from Spelman College in Atlanta, GA. I left Atlanta, and headed for Tampa, FL, where I received my M.A. degree in mathematics from the University of South Florida. As a graduate student, I taught College Algebra and tutored Calculus. Immediately after receiving my master’s degree, I got a job teaching at Valdosta State University, where I taught for 2 years. Longing to come back to Atlanta, I eventually ended up at my former school where I taught at Spelman College for 3 years. As an instructor at Spelman, I attended graduate school at the University of Georgia, where I received my Specialist Degree in Mathematics Education. I left Spelman to go to Perimeter College at Georgia State University (formerly Georgia Perimeter College), which is where I am currently teaching online classes. In 2013, I successfully defended my dissertation and graduated with my PhD in Mathematics Education from the University of Georgia.
