SALT LAKE CITY — Women still trail behind men when it comes to holding jobs in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math .
Melissa Gardner, Tiffany Reid, and Whitney Afoa, math teachers at Bennion Junior High in Salt Lake City, are part of that statistic. “We received an outpouring of applications,” says Amy Peterson. “So hard to choose because we want to celebrate every teacher that’s committing their life to making our children better.”“It has been a really wild ride,” explains Gardner as she laughs.
“I was not one of those good math students when I was a student, and I struggled. That’s another reason why I think I’m passionate about it, because I want to help,” Gardner says.
