Current courses (and links to Blackboard sites):
Other courses I have taught:
  • MATH 120 - Precalculus
  • MATH 210 - Calculus I
  • MATH 220 - Calculus II
  • MATH 250 - Calculus III
  • MATH 116 - Math for Liberal Arts Majors

From 1997 to 2002, I taught College Algebra and Calculus for the University of South Carolina as a part-time instructor, and taught Advanced Placement BC Calculus from 2002-2003 as a distance learning teacher for the Richland County School District I in Columbia, South Carolina. For my Master's degree, I wrote a thesis with Dr. Michael Filaseta titled "Reducibility in Polynomials with Non-negative Coefficients".   I am currently working with Dr. Majid Bani-Yaghoub on modeling hemorrhagic diseases in Missouri's white-tailed deer.

I play French horn with the Platte City Community Band and am a former member of the Heritage Philharmonic. In addition, I have worked for a wildlife sanctuary, in the Mammal department at the Columbia Zoo in South Carolina, and at Yellowstone National Park. I own too many board games and I wish I played disc golf better.
