I am originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but my family moved to different places while I was growing up. I graduated from high school in New Jersey. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Secondary Education: Social Studies and my Master's degree in Special Education from Oklahoma State Univeristy in 2012. This is my 10th year of teaching and my fifth year at Clark and in PISD. I spent 5 years working in Garland ISD teaching a variety of Social Studies classes at a variety of levels from on-level to International Honors. This year I am teaching World History Resource. In addition to teaching, I am the Women's Athletic Coordinator at Clark. Icoach 9th grade Volleyball and Girls' Basketball. I am engaged and have a 9-year-old Cocker Spaniel/King Charles Cavalier mix named Kennedy and a new kitten named Freya.
