I’m a wife, (soon to be) mom, daughter, sister, and dog owner. I reside in beautiful Denver, CO.
I married my wonderful husband, Dave, on September 17, 2005 on the Monterey State Beach in Monterey, CA. A year later, we began our studies in mathematics at Sonoma State University then journeyed together to Denver, CO for graduate school. We are parents to our two puppies Ally and Epsilon and expecting our first human child on August 19th. Dave is my best friend and I’ve enjoyed every moment of our life together.
Following graduation this June, I plan to teach at the college level. Ultimately, my goal is to obtain tenure at a community college, but as Dave is in pursuit of his PhD I will be more than happy with lecturing positions. I love teaching mathematics. The greatest thing ever is to witness the moment when a student “gets it”, or as one of my professor’s called it, the “ah ha!” moment. The student doesn’t probably realize how in that moment their eyes get an extra sparkle and their whole demeanor changes. It is these moments that fuel my passion to teach. And it’s only natural for me to teach mathematics as I find the material to be quite beautiful.
I also love Apple products; I’ve been using an iPhone for 3 years, and a MacBook for 2 years. In my spare time, I write for TiPb, a site dedicated to iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. Feel free to check out my posts here. I also moderate their forums; I love this community of people.
My other two favorite things are photography and music. I shoot a Nikon D90. I’m by no means a professional photographer, but I’m learning and having fun. As far as music is concerned, I play keyboard. Unfortunately, school has stolen most of time, but I look forward to regularly playing again soon. I can also play a little guitar, but I wouldn’t go as far as saying I’m a “guitar player”.
So yeah, that’s me. You can find me on twitter as @llofte.
