BETHANY HERR

Prior to being a math tutor at Thaddeus Stevens, Bethany Herr grew up in Lancaster County and graduated from Donegal High School.  Afterward, she attended York College of Pennsylvania and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Secondary Mathematics Education.  During her last semester of college, she began  her experience in the classroom when she student taught 8^th Grade Mathematics/Algebra in Morganton, North Carolina.  Many people from Pennsylvania may not be familiar with this location, but Brittany was intrigued by her experiences with the southern culture and the ability to live in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains. 

Following graduation, she worked as a high school geometry teacher at Garinger High School in Charlotte, NC.  This past summer, she returned to Pennsylvania to work on her master’s degree in Mathematics Education at Millersville University. 

Beyond working and studying, Bethany loves to travel around the United States and internationally.  Her most memorable trip was to Egypt in 2010, where she spent several weeks exploring the country and interacting with the people living there.  Highlights of the trip included climbing inside the Great Pyramid of Giza and completing a night hike to the top of Mt. Sinai.  Beyond travelling, Bethany enjoys kayaking, backpacking, and spending time outside.  This past summer, she spent a week hiking the Rocky Mountain National Forest.   

She looks forward to seeing everyone in the math lab this fall semester! J
