I am very excited to be starting my fourth year at Elizabeth Middle School.  I am relatively new to teaching.  In my previous life I worked in biomedical research, focusing on the hormones of the brain.  I am married with 2 kids, ages 18 and 15.   My son will be leaving for college at the University of Wyoming (GO POKES) this fall.  In my free time I like to travel, camp, hike, bike, canoe (just about anything outdoors,) or curl up with a good book.
