Greetings! I am so proud to serve as Plano West's AVID Coordinator. It is my eight year as a member of the wolfpack, and I have loved every moment of teaching Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID). I consider myself one of the luckiest teachers out there, as it is my job to usher students to their next journey, be it college, career, or the military. I will be working with the juniors this year, and they will transition with me to senior year. I am looking forward to getting to know my new AVID scholars and growing together over the next two years! 

I am an Ohio native and alumnus of The Ohio State University where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Education. My education instilled a great passion in me for teaching and learning that has grown over the past five years. I am currently embarking on a Master's in School Counseling and am very excited to apply my learning to the AVID classroom.
