I am entering my 17th year of teaching, of which the last 8 years have been spent as RFH. Prior to RFH, I taught 7th and 8th grade math. This experience has given me the unique experience of knowing the foundational mathematics skills your child is entering high school with. In addition to my Mathematics Education degree, I have earned a masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction and a masters degree in Physics Education. Pairing these two content areas demonstrates the key links between their math and science courses, asking the age old question of when the mathematics skills they are acquiring may be used in the real world. 

Beyond the classroom, I am a mom of three children, ages 11, 9 and 6.  I enjoy time spent with my family, at the beach, paddleboarding and afternoon hikes in the park. 

This year, students will explore how and why the world around us works through hands-on investigations, problem-solving, and real-world applications of physics. This site is a resource for families to stay informed about what we are learning, important course information, and ways to support students throughout the year.
