7th Grade Science Teacher
Coach

This is my 4th year teaching, I've previously taught Health and Speech but this is my second year in 7th Grade Science! I also coach high school volleyball and middle school track. What I love about my job is getting to spend every day with the best kids in the world! I love our Trojans

!My husband and I live in West and we love being a part of this community.

The Bible is my favorite book and what I live by.

One of my favorite things about teaching middle school science is that my mom was my middle school science teacher too. I love thinking back to how she taught me and how I can incorporate that into my classroom.
