About Andrea
I went to a large public high school in Anaheim, California, where my freshman year math teacher told my parents his class was too difficult for me. Instead of placing me into a different class, my parents taught me that practice, curiosity, and looking for math everywhere would help me prove him wrong.
Although my path to teaching has not been linear, I am here because I firmly believe that mathematical literacy is a human right. I believe a mathematics classroom should be a place where students feel comfortable asking why and trying again, while recognizing the ways they already use math in their lives.
I recharge by biking and walking with my family and newly adopted dog, Dino.
