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.
