I have been at NPMS for 18 years, teaching 6th science, ISS, and 7th science. I am a graduate of California State Polytechnic University, Wright State University, and Cumberland University with degrees in Business Management and Education. A Denver native, I grew up in Los Angeles, lived in Ohio for eleven years, and moved to Tennessee in 2003. I have been married to my husband Greg for 27 years; we have four cats, Duke, Jackson, Shelby and Minty. I love to read, knit, craft, do CrossFit/weightlifting and love history and science. I'm an active member of the Clarksville Weightlifting Club and also a licensed USAW referee so I can judge weightlifting competitions! My favorite sports team is the Nashville Predators. Coffee and dark chocolate are two of my favorite things!
