This is my 18th year teaching science in Plano, and my 3rd year as a Rice Raven :)

I taught 7th grade science at Renner middle school prior to coming to Rice. I have a B.S. degree in biology, and love using my science background to help students discover the joy that can be found in science. I have also had the pleasure of writing curriculum in the district and have a great appreciation for how strong the Plano curriculum is. 

I have lived in Plano for 18 years. I have four grown children. My youngest son is starting his junior year at Texas Tech which makes me an empty nester (apart from my two Goldendoodles, Abby and Charlotte). I remarried this year, so many students may still know me as Ms. Hurley.  In my spare time, I like to run, play tennis, garden and spend time with family and friends.
