My Story

 

Years ago, I transitioned from working as an engineer to an educator in order to make a difference in peoples’ lives.  I found a way as a physics teacher to not only share my passion for engineering and problem solving but also to influence and inspire today’s youth.  I believe that learning isn't just for the classroom, but for every moment in our day.  As an educator, I emphasize the importance of life skills such as communication, conflict resolution, self efficacy, social-emotional growth, and executive function in addition to learning technical content.

​​

I am a proud wife and mother of four strong children.  Every day I am trying to find ways to positively impact their lives.  Being a parent is the greatest educator responsibility of all and I am far from an expert!  To ensure a fulfilling life for my family, I can not only focus on their individual development, but the overall growth of our community as a whole.  This world needs strong individuals to become agents of change in this complex time. I look to become a key tool in this undertaking for my family, neighborhood, and global community.

 

My life has been filled with many exciting adventures both personally and professionally and I know this is just the beginning.  How can I help you along your educational journey?
