I received my PhD in Matrix Theory from the College of William and Mary. Prior to that I worked in industry for a number of years including three years for an options and futures trading firm in the Chicago Board of Trade.
I am one of the co-organizers of Minnesota's first Math Teachers' Circle called the Twin Cities Math Teachers' Circle (TCMTC). Myself, Melissa Loe and Cheri Shakiban from University of St. Thomas together with Minneapolis middle school teachers Patty DeJarLais and Chris Wernimont started the circle in August 2010. There are currently 18 members of the TCMTC and we meet each month to work on interesting math problems and improve the problem solving skills of the middle school math teachers who are members. We hope to energize these teachers so they bring their enthusiasm and improved problem solving skills back to their classrooms.
