I started my teaching career in 2006 at Gainesville Middle School. I have five years’ experience in middle school teaching Social Studies, Physical Science, and Special Education. For the past 11 years I have been teaching at NHHS. The last four I have served as the Advanced Placement coordinator, department head and a member of the leadership team.

When I am not at work I enjoy spending time with my family and any activity that lets me be outdoors.
