About Cara

My goal is to create safer, inclusive and supportive learning cultures in my math classes at Portland Community College. Students report feeling comfortable and connected in a math class which can heal math anxiety and prior trauma. 

I view math as a vehicle for problem solving, critical thinking, persistence, resilience, kindness, equity and empowerment. My focus is to build relationships with respect and trust. I create innovative and engaging, culturally relevant classroom activities. I have a social justice theme in my classes. I strive to make education equitable and inspire students to overcome barriers and keep working hard to achieve their goals.

In addition to teaching at PCC for 20+ years, I have professional experience as a Euro/Celtic shamanic healer. I studied with teacher Shannon Kelly for eight years. As I healed and overcame my personal trauma, I helped others to do the same. My classroom can be a healing experience for students with anxiety or a history of trauma. I have facilitated many healing groups and professional development workshops for social workers, nurses and teachers. You can see some of these on the workshops page and feel free to use the meditations I've made.

​Please feel free to email me with any questions. I look forward to connecting with you.
