I am a graduate of the University of Tennessee - Knoxville where I studied chemical engineering and forensic anthropology.  Prior to becoming a teacher, I worked for the University of Missouri Health Care, the Center for the Study of Organizational Change at the University of Missouri, and Coca-Cola Enterprises. I decided to start teaching because I saw a need for educators in math and science and knew that I had the skills and abilities to make a difference.  I began teaching when my youngest started school.  Although this is my second year at Huntsville High School, I spent the previous 8 years teaching in New Waverly.  My tenure there afforded me the opportunity to teach a diverse population of students level and preAP Chemistry; level, preAP, & AP Physics; AP Biology; Environmental Science; IPC; and Resource Science.  I am very excited to be back in the Hive.
