I am looking forward to having a great year here at Douglas Freeman. I am new to Douglas Freeman, and I am looking forward to getting to know everybody. I am not from the Richmond area, but I did go to school in the area and have previously worked in the city. My background is in Mathematics, and after graduating from Randolph-Macon College with a BA in Mathematics, I started my first career in the residential construction industry. I worked as a project manager and Superintendent during my time in construction. As a teacher, I like to demonstrate mathematical applications in the working world by relating curriculum to my past work experiences and other fields that require analytical skills. My goal is to make every student aware of how important these skills are in the future, and to help each student reach their highest level of success.
