As the current Mathematics Curriculum Coordinator for Griffin Spalding County Schools in Georgia, I see myself as a teacher advocate, Every chance I get, I advocate that teachers 1) receive adequate training to do what is expected of them, 2) are provided the time and space to collaborate in settings that are professional and supportive, and 3) are provided resources that adequately support rigorous mathematics instruction. I am passionate about changing how students experience mathematics, especially those from marginalized groups, and advocate for mathematics instruction that develops all students as mathematical thinkers and problem-solvers.
