Hello and welcome to my classroom. This will be my ninth year teaching, and third year with the GT magnet program at Swope Middle School. I have a BS in Environmental Science and Ecology as well as a Master of Arts in Teaching. I am beginning my doctorate in STEM education this autumn.  I love teaching science, and am so fortunate to work with such a dynamic team at Swope. 

At home I have a wonderfully supportive partner named Tyler, along with a four year old named Everett and 3 month old named Ingrid. Our house is rounded out with a golden retriever and two cats. In our free time we like to ride our bikes, go rock climbing, and ski in the winter.
