About

My name is Jeremy Bernier, and I am a math educator, education researcher, and gamer. I was born and raised in the state of Maine, a little bit all over but mostly in the [Lewiston / Auburn area](https://visitmaine.com/places-to-go/maines-lakes-and-mountains/lewiston-auburn). For my undergraduate studies, I went to [Boston University](https://www.bu.edu/wheelock/) and earned my BS in Mathematics Education in 2015. I spent a year after undergrad working at [Walt Disney World Resort](https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/) in Orlando, Florida, before teaching pre-algebra at [Maine Connections Academy](https://www.connectionsacademy.com/maine-virtual-school), Maine's first all-online charter school. I earned an MS in Teaching with a concentration in Mathematics from the [University of Maine](https://umaine.edu/risecenter/) in 2020, and subsequently earned a PhD in Learning, Literacies and Technologies from ASU in 2024. Presently, I am a Math Teacher at Bangor Adult and Community Education in Maine and an Adjunct Research Assistant Professor at Clemson University. <br> I am available for consulting and part-time work on a variety of types of projects. If you are interested in contracting me for work related to education research, mathematics teaching, or tabletop roleplaying games, please see the relevant pages linked below to learn more about my interest, experience, and knowledge in these areas.
