I am very excited for my sixth year teaching 8th Grade Science at Elizabeth Middle School. Teaching is my second career. In my previous life, I worked in biomedical research, focusing on the hormones of the brain. I am married with 2 kids, ages 20 and 17. My son is a junior at the University of Wyoming (GO POKES!) and my daughter is a senior in high school. In my free time I like to travel, camp, hike, bike, canoe (just about anything outdoors,) or curl up with a good book.
