I called Baltimore home for most of my childhood.  After graduating High School, I moved to the Eastern Shore and earned a Bachelor’s of Science in Chemistry from Salisbury University.  After college, I began a career in Pharmaceutical Sales in the DC Metro area.  During my time in sales, I realized that what I loved most was the teaching and training I was able to do with staff, doctors and nurses.  When my daughter was born, I decided I wanted to teach in a classroom. 

I finished my Masters of Art in Teaching degree from the University of Maryland University College in 2012.  I began working at a public STEM charter school in Prince George’s County in 2013.  I spent 2 years teaching Biology, Chemistry and Earth Science.  Here, I had the opportunity to take on the role of Professional Development Lead Teacher, coach for the Science Olympiad Team and also co-chair for the SGA and National Honor Society. 

During the summer of 2015, my family decided to move to Kent Island.  I accepted the role of Science Teacher at Anchor Points Academy.  For 2 years I taught several different science courses including, Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science, Genetics and Marine Science.

This is my third year teaching Biology and Chemistry at KIHS!  Last year I also took on the roles of co-advisor for the class of 2021 and co-chair for the National Honor Society.   

I believe that every child can learn at high levels and science is a great way to spark an interest in learning.  My goal is for the students that come through my classroom to leave being able to think critically and solve real-world problems.
