Introduction

Hello everyone!

My name is Christina and I recently graduated from UConn with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics. I am currently pursuing a Masters of Education in Secondary Mathematics Education. I substitute taught for about 2 years, and have been tutoring since high school.  I'll be the first to admit that I'm technologically challenged, so please forgive me for any glitches I make along the way! I also never really fit the norm... While most kids growing up were placed on a soccer team, or in some other sporting environment, I was the odd man out.  Instead of participating in sports, I grew up dancing at the studio next door to my family's restaurant. This began simply because of the convenience factor, but then turned into a real passion of mine. As a part of my dance studio, I performed in Disney World, Sea World, and Universal Studios at the ages of 14 and 16. I also was a member of my high school's dance team and took almost every dance class under the moon over the course of 15 years; tumbling, ballet, tap, jazz, pointe, hip hop, and lyrical. Although I am currently too old to dance at my studio, I still try and stay active in the "sport" by performing as alumni.  And that's pretty much me in a nutshell  :)
