I have been teaching at ASU since January 2002. My interest is in teaching and researching mathematics, especially for K-12. I have developed a foundation course (AP Precalculus) for STEM students. In this course, students have the opportunity to build their foundation and explore deeper knowledge to be successful in STEM majors. I have taught the Precalculus Mat 170 several times at ASU with huge student success.
