This is my first year to be teaching at Murphy Middle School, and I am so excited to be here! I have spent the past five years teaching high school science at a private school in the area. However, 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 Honors Science 8 and Science 8.

I graduated from Belmont University in Nashville, TN with B.S. in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. I am married to my husband Mark,and we have 3 children. Ryan is a Senior at the University of Oklahoma, Natalie is a Freshman at the University of Arkansas, and Caroline is a Junior at Wylie Prep. 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.
