I am an Associate Professor of Mathematics Education and Teacher Education at the University of South Florida, USA. My research centers on how to prepare teachers to meet the diverse learning needs of students in mathematics classrooms. I am an expert in how to prepare/equip teachers to meet the needs of all children related to mathematics learning. I study how teachers can use meta-processes such as professional consultation and use of research literature to inform their teaching to create more inclusive classrooms for students with diverse learning needs.

My research agenda lies at the intersection of equitable mathematics education and teacher education. I am fundamentally concerned with the ways in which we equip teachers to meet the mathematics learning needs of diverse students. One strand of my research explores how teachers learn to use research to inform their teaching. Another strand examines how general education teachers learn to engage in consultation with special education professionals in order to meet the mathematics learning need
