University of Georgia

Lucy C. Laney High School

Background:

I received a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Paine College located in Augusta, Georgia. I received the Master’s of Arts in teaching from the University of Georgia. Currently I teach high school mathematics in Augusta, Ga at Lucy C. Laney High School.

Why do you want to teach:

I teach mathematics because I understand the need for impoverished students to be educated through rigorous mathematics.

Describe a memorable teaching experience:

The most memorable moment I have had in teaching mathematics is when a student of mine was able to understand how to factor through a situation that she could relate to.

What does the Noyce program mean to you:

This program has given me the opportunity to better educate myself. By attending the University of Georgia, I have learned a lot about how to teach students who attend inner city high schools.
