About Me

Education

Educational History:

I am a 2001 graduate of Graham High School!  I then went on to college at Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, but transferred to Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, TX.  I graduated from HSU in December 2006 with a BS in Biology, and continued post-grad classes in education to obtain my teaching certification in May 2008.

Degrees and Certifications:

  • Degree:  Bachelors of Science in Biology from HSU
  • Teaching Certifications:  4-8 General Science, 7-12 Life Sciences
  • PLTW Certifications:  Principles of Biomedical Sciences, Human Body Systems, Medical Interventions, and Biomedical Innovations.
  • Google Certifications: Level 1 & Level 2 Teacher

Professional Development:

  • PLTW Master Teacher since 2018: Principles of Biomedical Sciences (2020) and Human Body Systems (2018-2023)

Current Position:

I started teaching at GHS in August 2016 as the PLTW Biomedical Sciences teacher.  This is my 8th year in the PLTW Biomed position, and I teach 9th – 12th graders interested in medical careers.  My classes include Principles of Biomedical Sciences, Human Body Systems, Medical Interventions, and Biomedical Innovations.

I am currently a Principles of Biomedical Sciences and Human Body Systems Master Teacher with Project Lead the Way, where I get the opportunity to teach other educators.  I spent 4 weeks this summer, virtually teaching other PLTW teachers from across the US to teach HBS at their schools.  

Previous Position:

I have been in education for 13 years now, and all of those have been spent at Graham ISD. I was fortunate enough to start teaching 8th Science at GJHS in the fall of 2010 and spent 6 years teaching at the Jr. High.  During that time, I also taught 1 year of 6th Science (2014-2015) and 1 year of 7th Science (2015-2016) and had some amazing teaching partners.
