I have been teaching at Kent Island High School since the fall of 1998, when we first opened our doors at the main campus. I am one of the teachers for the Project Lead the Way Biomedical Sciences Pathway at KIHS. I love what I do and work hard to instill a love for learning, hard work, and the biomedical sciences in all of my students. It is my hope that all of my students leave our class with the skills that enable them to be successful in the biomedical sciences both here at KIHS and in any future endeavors beyond KIHS.

When I am not at school, I am busy with my family. I have 4 kids (my oldest 3 graduated from from KIHS and my youngest who is currently here at KI). As a family, we are all involved in many school and community activities so you will see us around. In addition to our children, we also have our fur baby, a chocolate lab, named Puddy Pop, who is often with us and like most labs, is very friendly and loves when people greet. You may see me walking her around one of our local neighborhoods.
Fun fact: I love the mountains and the fresh water lakes of the Adirondacks (Northern NY).
