This will be my 8th year at PRMS. I have been here since the beginning and I still love it!  I have taught 6th-8th grade science, Broadcast, Digital Design, and Discovery during my 23 years in education. I love teaching middle schoolers - some days it is like talking to aliens, but I love their unique outlook on life and the great potential they hold.  They teach me new things all the time. 

I have a Bachelors of Science in Biology along with my Composite Science (6-12) and Technology Application Teaching certifications. 

I am looking forward to a great year. In the Discovery and DDMP courses I challenge students to take risks and push their creativity.  

In Discovery, I want students to explore a variety of experiences from sewing to programming.  Along the way we will develop skills in the 4 Cs (creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, communication) as well as Computational Thinking Skills as we plan, implement, and reflect on projects.

In DDMP we will explore various careers and techniques used to create digital media including  photography, print, social media, and film.  Students will create their own content to be shared with the campus. We will work on collaboration, current software for creating content, interviewing, story creation as well as working with deadlines.
