Bio:
2026/2027 is my 20th year in education, and I’m excited to return to teaching Middle School Math, which is where I started my teaching career. Outside of school, I enjoy playing video games, and I used to be a streamer. I also love reading and trying different crafts. I’ve lived in Utah for the past five years and enjoy finding new and interesting experiences, which is something I try to bring into my teaching because I want to create memorable learning experiences for my students.
Books I love:
The Sundown Motel by Simone St. James, 11/22/63 by Stephen King, Delicious in Dungeon by Ryoko Kui (manga series)
The McGillis value that means the most to me:
Tzedakah means the most to me because I believe we all have experiences and stories worth sharing, and by sharing what we have, learning from one another, and using those experiences to help others, we can build meaningful connections and make a positive difference.
