I love science, crafty things, nature, my friends and of course my family. I have two children, Penny and Christopher, whom I love to share stories about. My husband Mat, is a computer nerd who works for the marines and is in 501st (if you see a Star Wars bad guy around island, that's the 501st.) I've taught at Kubasaki since 2012. Before this, I taught at Osan HS in Korea for 5 years and previous to that at Darmstadt MS in Germany for 2 years. I have a BS in Microbiology and an MS in Science Education from the University of Texas, Austin. My family stateside is mainly in Texas and Colorado.
