Our Team

Denise is the owner of 4 Mathnasiums in the Raleigh region: Mathnasium of Cary, Mathnasium of Brier Creek, Mathnasium of North Raleigh, and Mathnasium of Apex. Denise's Brier Creek center, which celebrates its 3 year anniversary this year, has been helping students in the Brier Creek area of Raleigh and southeast Durham develop the thinking skills and confidence they need to succeed in their math classes. Highly specialized to the needs of Wake County students, the center offers additional help for EOG (End-of-Grade) and EOC (End-of-Course) tests, as well as highly qualified tutors for challenging classes such as Honors Geometry and Honors Algebra 1 and 2. By utilizing Mathnasium material to help children master the content of the NC EOG assessments, her centers in 2007-2008 resulted in nearly 75% of its' students receiving a '4' on their test; the highest grade possible. Denise's love for Mathematics is apparent in her background - she studied mathematics and education at both the undergraduate and graduate level, with degrees from both Drexel University and Cornell University. After spending 20 years at AT&T Bell Labs and Cisco systems, she embarked on a new journey with Mathnasium to fulfill her desire to give back to the community and build strong math students in Raleigh's schools. Under her directorship, the four Mathnasium locations in Raleigh have truly become community math learning centers.
