Welcome to Room 231! You are part of an amazing group of learners and scientists and I'm excited to work with you as we experience class together. 

I have been teaching since 2012, all in Henry County Schools. I have taught the following courses: AP Physics 1, Physics, AP Environmental Science, Environmental Science, Chemistry, Physical Science, Earth Systems, and I student taught Honors Chemistry and AP Chemistry. 

This school year (26-27), I will be teaching AP Physics 1, Physics, AP Environmental Science, Physical Science, and an online Environmental Science course. 

My education is all in high school science. I hold the following degrees and qualifications: 

BA from Western Governors University in Chemistry 

MA from Western Governors University in Physics

EdS from Kennesaw State University in Secondary Chemistry

Lastly, I will graduate this December from Kennesaw State University with my EdD in Chemistry Education

I hold certifications in earth & space science, science, and chemistry as well as endorsements in online teaching and learning and gifted education. 

I am an AP Reader for AP Environmental Science, which is such a valuable tool for my classroom each year. Finally, I have presented at several national & local education conferences and the National Science Foundation about teaching and science curriculum development. 

I am originally from Ohio and spent 10 years living in New York City before moving to Georgia. I enjoy baseball (NY Mets, funny story), traveling, reading, trying new foods, and I collect postage stamps from around the world. I have been married to my husband, Stephen, since 2007 and we have a 16 year old cat named Boo.
