Kay Tucker, Ph.D.

Bio

For over 30 years, I have taught math to different groups of people. After teaching math at Rochester College in Rochester, MI from 2011-2013, I accepted a job at Nebraska Community College where I taught math from 2013-2018. Since my family was all in Michigan, I moved back here in 2018 and have been teaching for Spring Arbor University first as adjunct , later a half time instructor, and now as full time assistant professor. It is exciting to be back close to family. My daughter and son-in-law live in Warsaw, IN and my son is currently living with my husband and I while finishing an online degree with Liberty University.
My husband and I are originally from Texas which is why all my degrees are from Texas. Since I could never decide what I wanted to be when I grew up and I love school, I have a plethora of degrees. My first degree was a BS in Physical Education and Health from Abilene Christian University. Next, I earned a BS in Petroleum Engineering from Texas Tech University. Years later, I returned to school and receive a MS and PhD from Texas A&M in Kinesiology. At SAU I teach Algebra, Statistics and Engineering Statics. It is a blessing to get to teach to a wide variety of students/disciplines as I teach for the Business department, Health and Exercise Science department, and Math department.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, watching movies and training dogs. My dogs consist of a Flat-coated Retriever and a miniature poodle. Of course, one of my favorite activities is to just spend time with my family. My husband and I also host small group Bible studies at our house and are actively involved at our church.
