Biography<\/span>
\nYou know how on the first day of the semester a professor usually introduces themselves to the students with some information about themselves?<\/p>\n

Hi I’m Kyle. You’re probably here because you know me as a teacher, but I’d be selling myself short if that’s the only way I defined myself. I grew up in Wappingers Falls, NY<\/a> in the lovely Hudson Valley (yes that’s “upstate” New York) and although math was always “my thing” in school, sports came first. I played soccer through high school and as a lifelong New York Mets fan (sigh) I would watch as many games as possible. For now, let’s just say I have a vast knowledge of sports trivia.<\/p>\n

I went to Sacred Heart University<\/a> for undergrad with the intention of going into athletic administration and was quickly convinced (not that I needed much convincing) that math was the route for me. Through individual and group tutoring, it was here that first sparked my interest in education and helping others.<\/p>\n

Like many fresh grads, I had no idea what to do with my mathematics degree and grad school started as a way to “delay the real world” but it was my time at the University of Connecticut<\/a> that I fell in love with teaching and improving the state of math instruction at the college level. Oh and it’s not like my love of sports disappeared – you won’t find many bigger fans of UConn women’s basketball and I also started writing about soccer uniforms<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Making math education matter<\/em> was not just a personal goal in my own classes, but also a goal that motivated my research<\/a> based on K-12 mathematics classrooms. Students (and instructors) need to understand and experience that math is\u00a0not<\/em> a “politically neutral” subject<\/a> and that math has genuine authentic connections to society<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’m currently a Visiting Assistant Professor at Trinity College<\/a> and continue to develop my voice as an educator and as a mental health advocate<\/a>. I’m teaching math, education<\/a>, and politics and am active in the campus community.<\/p>\n

You’ll get to know me more throughout the semester and I’ll do my best to get to know you and your context. You matter.<\/p>\n
