Elizabeth Shute will be graduating from Northern Arizona University on Friday with plans to continue inspiring others to find their passion for math.

Shute, whose degree is in secondary education in mathematics, said she first became interested in teaching the subject as a high schooler. She would help her classmates understand their precalculus homework, and she said she knew it was what she wanted to do when she volunteered to help a fifth grade class with the subject.
