Julie Sweetman
B.S., B.A., M.Ed. Curriculum & Instruction, PDC in MA.With more than 25 years of experience in the classroom, I have had the privilege of teaching mathematics at both the middle and high school levels. My career has been driven by a passion for making math accessible, engaging, and fun for students of all ages.
Beyond the classroom, I am deeply committed to the growth of the profession, serving as a mentor to fellow educators to help them find their footing and flourish in their teaching journeys. When I’m not solving equations or collaborating with colleagues, you can find me at the beach with a good book in my hand and my dog by my side. I believe the best way to stay sharp in the classroom is to find balance and inspiration in the world around us.
