She's cool, and has a great sense of humor. It really helps if you have trouble paying attention in a math class. She doesnt purposely try to throw those infamous trick problems at you. If this is done, you get lots of warnings before her festivals(not tests). Totally recommend the class. I left the course with a positive outlook on math.

Best professor I have ever came across at GCC. If you're someone who struggles with math , definitely take her. She cares about her students succeeding, explains everything so well. She will help you gain confidence. I can't even believe I'm saying this but she made me love math and this is coming from someone who hated it before taking her class
