satelliteAbout Karen

I didn't like math when I was growing up... I didn't even know I was good at it because I never gave it a chance.  When I was in college, I had to take math. For the first time, I actually studied and did my homework... and you know what? I found out that I was really good at math! And it was FUN!

I made this site so that you won't have to suffer through years of hating math like I did. I want you to find out that it's fun... and not really that hard if you look at it the right way. Keep reading this page to find out more about me.

EDUCATION:

Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics
Master of Science in Mathematics

PROFESSIONAL:

I teach math at a community college - just about everything from Algebra to Calculus (Geometry is my favorite).  I've taught a class called Math for Elementary Teachers over 25 times...  This is how I know about teaching math to kids!
I'm also a freelance graphic artist -- I was an art major prior to majoring in math.  Go figure!  8-)

PERSONAL:

Hobbies

Fender guitar

rotating CD

Bodyboarding!!  Wooooohooooo!  I've tried surfing a few times, but it's really just resulted in my getting a ton of salt water up my nose.
Going to the beach...  even in the winter!  The sand looks really cool right after it rains.
