Meet your math guide.
Hello! Math was my best subject in school and the most satisfying. Working through problems is like solving puzzles. I grew up overseas in Afghanistan (before 40 years of war destroyed the country) and then the Philippines. I graduated from BYU with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering then spent 20 years in the U.S. Navy as a submarine officer. When I retired from the navy, our family settled here in Utah where I spent two years building my own log home. Since I needed to pay for it, I went back to school for a year and a half to become certified as a math teacher. I taught at Roy High School for 9 years. I taught at the NUAMES-Davis campus for 3 years. This is my third year at the NUAMES-North campus (newly opened in Ogden in 2018). Seven years ago I completed my Master of Mathematics degree at Utah State University. In 2014 I was honored to be one of eight teachers in Utah to receive the Master Teacher Award from Math for America, a non-profit organization based in New York City. I feel very fortunate to be able to work with this great faculty and to teach such a great bunch of students at NUAMES-North!
