I am excited about my 20th year of teaching and 6th year at GHS. Previously, I was at Rosa Scott High School and Brandon Middle School. Along with teaching at GHS, I am a professor at Holmes Community College, where I teach Human Anatomy/Physiology. For my Anatomy students, my goal is for the students to learn about how the human body functions but also to explore careers that they might be interested in pursuing in the health field. My goal for Biomedical Intervention and AP Biology students is to teach them critical thinking and collaboration skills as they learn about new technologies and advances in Biological Science. AP Biology students, I am also going to prepare you to rock out on the AP test to earn college credit.
Education Background:
I earned my Bachelors degree in Secondary Education from Mississippi State University in 2005. In 2007, I continued my studies at Mississippi College to earn a Masters in Biology. During my time at Mississippi College, I completed a shadowing program as a Medical Technologist at Baptist hospital and assisted in research at UMMC. In order to stay in touch with the evolving world of science education, I continue to educate myself through summer workshops, such as with Project Lead The Way (PLTW) and AP college board.
Family
My husband and I relocated from Brandon to Madison 13 years ago. I am not originally from MS, but I have lived here long enough to call it home. We have 2 beautiful girls; Kylie, who is a Sophmore at GHS, and Leyla, who attends Germantown Middle. My husband is a partner and lead Environmental Geologist with W.L. Burle Engineering. As a family, we enjoy hunting and traveling.
