Get to Know CCHS Staffulty Member - Elaine De Moulin

- What subjects and grade levels do you teach?
I teach math.  This year, I have the pleasure of teaching geometry and the senior course, Math Ideas & Statistics.  

- What is your educational background? 
I have a Bachelor of Science from the University of Wisconsin - River Falls where I majored in math and minored in physics.  

- What did you do before joining the CCHS faculty?
I have taught every age from 2 years old to 19 years, but I really love teaching high school and college level math classes.  I especially love the remedial math classes, because it's the kids who dislike math that are my favorite to teach.  Getting to convert them to the ways of math is a favorite of mine.  

- What inspired you to become a teacher?
Growing up, school was a safe place for me, and it was the teachers who really stepped up and made me who I am today.  

- What made you want to teach at Central Catholic specifically?
I am very excited to work with a diverse community of dedicated students.  

- What do you hope your impact will be on your students?
To show them that math really isn't all THAT bad, just a little intimidating and definitely worth the work!

- What are your hobbies or interests outside of work?
I currently have been enjoying rock climbing at the gym and hiking in the woods.  I also enjoy sewing, though I am not yet good at it.  Additionally, I enjoy watching all Jane Austen adaptations, Korean dramas, and fantasy-based shows like Dr. Who and The Witcher.  

- Feel free to add anything else you’d like to include so we can get to know you better!
I love to combine art and math together!
