I am currently going to school at Boise State University and I am getting two degrees at the moment. One of my degrees is Secondary Education with an emphasis on Mathematics. My second degree is a Mathematics degree. My overall plan is to get an undergraduate degree in Math and get my teaching certification so that I can teach high school and then continue my Math education so I can teach college. My goal is to end up with a Ph.D. in some field in math, I haven't decided what yet, and teach at a high end college.
I am interested in teaching because I have always loved the interaction between people as they work with numbers and struggle to find sense behind what all is going on. I love math and my favorite part is when you realize what computations or theory is going on and you get super happy and feel like you can take on anything! What I want to help with is the struggle to understanding because once any student reaches understanding I like to know that I was the one that gave that extra nudge to get there. I am also a very social and talkative person so I feel very comfortable in front of a crowd and guiding them towards understanding!
Just so you get a little more of a sense of who I am, let me tell you about myself. I was born in Idaho and raised in McCall, which is like 2 hours north of Boise. I love the outdoors and the change of seasons means the start of a new sport. Winter means snowmobiling and snowboarding while summer means wake boarding and beach volleyball. Obviously spring means the ability to start going outside and planting a garden while fall means hunting and football season! I am very social and love to meet new people! Very seldom will you see me not laughing or without a smile on my face. That is unless it's the first day of class because I'm very shy at first!<3
