My name is Deborah Rebhuhn. I started my career as a professional mathematician (PhD under Felix Albrecht at the University of Illinois) then transitioned to industry as a systems engineer at Bell Laboratories and many of its descendents. When my job was offshored, I realized that what I had enjoyed most for the last few years was working with my daughter and her friends in my girl scout troop. I left systems engineering, moved to teaching via an alternate route. I have been teaching at a school for students with special needs for the last 11 years.
