Chandra believes her unique approach to math equips students to succeed in a competitive workforce. After working in banking for most of her professional life, she decided to leave the corporate world and begin teaching. Her corporate experience finds its way into every lesson, though, as she creates realistic projects that provide her students with opportunities to authentically apply math knowledge. Chandra was selected as a semifinalist for the 2018-2019 Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) Teacher of the Year. She is currently teaching at Coleman Middle School and has been teaching at GCPS since 2005.
