I am originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but my family moved to different places while I was growing up. 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 9th year of teaching and my fourth 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. After teaching on-level World Geography and Honors World History last year, I am very excited to be back to teaching Special Education Social Studies. In addition to teaching, I also coach 9th grade Volleyball and Girls' Basketball. I am engaged and have a 8-year-old Cocker Spaniel/King Charles Cavalier mix named Kennedy.
