I spent most of my teenage years in Leander, TX and went on to attend Baylor University in Waco. After graduating with a degree in Biology, I decided to work with animals. I have lived in several cities across 4 states, and had the privilege to work with birds, reptiles, and mammals...oh my! It was such a joy to teach people about the beautiful animals I worked with that I decided switch to a career in education. I am so excited for another year teaching at MacArthur High School! :)

At home my life revolves around taking care of my fur (and feather) babies. We have an elderly dog, a spunky cockatiel, and 3 finches, and a betta fish! In my free time I enjoy hiking, bird watching, and video games.

I look forward to sharing my love of learning and science with students this year!
