Andrea
As a long-standing enthusiast of both mathematics and music and the infinite connections they share, Andrea studied at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. After studying Performing and Fine Arts abroad in England and Scotland through a Tulane University exchange program, she discovered that the combination of mathematics, science, physics, and nature were perfectly entwined, and those connections have remained her passion ever since. In 2008, she arrived in New Mexico, hoping to explore various avenues of mathematics in the classroom that were less typical and more creative, allowing for exploration and discovery. After hearing and reading about IAIA, she came to speak to the department head -- and in 2011, was hired as adjunct faculty. In 2018, she served as Visiting Professor, while also completing her MEd in Mathematics Curriculum and Instruction.
