This is my third teaching at Murphy Middle School, and first in 7th grade. I have now taught all of the middle school science classes which will be a benefit as we build on what we have learned and move towards what is next. Before coming to Murphy, I taught high school science at a private school in the area. I have learned that middle school students are my passion. I love helping them grow and discover who they are during this season of their life. I will be teaching both Honors and Onlevel Science 7.

I graduated from Belmont University in Nashville, TN with a B.S. in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. I am married to my husband, Mark,and we have 3 children. Ryan graduated from the University of Oklahoma and is now doing genetic research,  Natalie is a junior at Texas A&M studying kinesiology, and Caroline is a freshman at Baylor studying psychology. When I am not doing school work, I love spending time with my family. I love a good road trip and game nights are always a favorite. I also enjoy cooking, getting coffee with friends, and being outdoors.
