I am a first year Applied Math Ph.D. student in the Applied Mathematics and Statistics program. I received my bachelor's degree from the University of Central Florida in Computational Applied Mathematics in May 2011. I am currently assistant teaching at Fairview Elementary School under Glenda Wesley, Lindsay Holexa, and Angela Miller in two kindergarten classes and a second grade class, respectively. I enjoy hiking and reading, and I hope to learn how to snowboard in the near future.

Bechtel/GK-12 Program Description
The Colorado School of Mines (CSM) approach to outreach in Colorado’s Adams County District 50 (AC50) and Aurora Public Schools (APS) is to provide the opportunity for teachers and students to be immersed in mathematics, science and technology at the elementary, middle school and high school levels. Through a $2.5 million grant from the Bechtel Foundation, CSM faculty and graduate students will be directly assisting K-5 teachers in AC50 and APS as they implement scientifically and mathematically rich, hands-on instruction at the elementary level. The National Science Foundation (NSF) is supporting our efforts at the middle school level in these school districts as part of the GK-12 Learning Partnerships grant (DGE-0638719; $1.7 million). The current NSF grant, Broadening Participation in Middle School through Undergraduate Study (CNS-0739233), completes the pipeline by providing support for interventions at the high school and college levels.
