Camera Whicker is a native of Baton Rouge, LA, and the youngest of three. Her passion for mathematics led her to earn a BS in Mathematics with a Concentration in Actuarial Science from the University of New Orleans. While in undergrad, she served as a peer tutor for math. During this period, she noticed students’ lack of love for the subject, and this ignited her desire to teach so she could instill a love of math in students the way her math teachers instilled it in her. After graduating, she began teaching 9th grade Algebra 1 at Eleanor McMain Secondary School and obtained a Master of Arts in Teaching Secondary Mathematics from Relay Graduate School of Education. Currently, she is the 9th grade Algebra 1 honors teacher at Frederick A. Douglass High School as well as the Statistics Professor for Bard Early College New Orleans. When she is not teaching, she enjoys spending quality time with family, traveling, or going to see her favorite artist perform live in concert.
