Ms. Boyd is excited to begin another year of teaching Algebra at Veterans High School. One of her favorite parts of teaching is getting to know her students and helping them realize they are capable of succeeding in math even if they don't believe it at first. She strives to create a classroom where students feel supported, respected, and encouraged to grow both academically and personally.

Before becoming a teacher, Ms. Boyd worked as a civilian for the Department of Defense as both a maintenance and financial analyst. Although she enjoyed that career, she discovered her true passion was working with students. She earned her Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and recently completed her Master's degree in Secondary Education. Ms. Boyd believes that mistakes are an important part of the learning process and encourages her students to ask questions, take risks, and persevere through challenges. She is passionate about making mathematics engaging, approachable, and meaningful while helping students build confidence in their abilities both inside and outside the classroom.

In addition to teaching Algebra, Ms. Boyd serves as a Sources of Strength Advisor and is a member of the school's Student Support Team. Through these roles, she is committed to creating a positive, supportive school environment where every student feels valued and connected. Outside of school, Ms. Boyd is a proud mom of two wonderful children who keep her busy and constantly remind her of the importance of curiosity, patience, and lifelong learning. When she isn't teaching, she enjoys baking, cooking, arts and crafts, singing, and spending time with her family.
