Hi, I am a Master's student at Colorado School of Mines in the Mineral and Energy Economics program specializing in Operations Research. I am also a part of the GK-12
grant and work at Aurora Hills Middle School assisting in 8th grade math.  My job is to bring my math expertise to the classroom to not only excite the students about the possibilities within math and science but to also teach the kids about renewable energy and connect that topic to their current curriculum.  Feel free to browse around or contact me with questions!

I received my undergraduate degree from Regis University in Denver, CO, majoring in Mathematics and minoring in Economics and Music.  My areas of expertise included Operations Research, or soon will be ;) and Game Theory.  Hobbies include outdoors activities, including hiking and snowboarding, sports such as volleyball, softball, and ultimate frisbee, singing and reading.

The GK-12 Program is about connecting elementary and middle school classrooms with graduate students focused on math and science.  The goal is to excite the students about math and science as well as incorporate the graduate student's research topic and his or her expertise in the field of renewable energy into the classroom's current curriculum in an effort to strengthen the curriculum and expand the kids' knowledge to topics beyond the classroom.Support for this work is provided by the National Science Foundation's Division of Graduate Education, NSF, DGE-0638719.
