Hello Wolfpack!

I have been a proud member of the Wolfpack since 2005, and truly think we have the absolute best science department and AP Biology team in the district.  In addition to being the team lead for AP Biology, I am also a curriculum writer for the district and a new teacher mentor for teachers new to Plano ISD for both our campus and the district.  Outside my classroom, I have had the privilege of being selected as a UTSW STARS teacher intern for both summer 2023 and summer 2024.  This was an incredible experience that allowed me to see first-hand the skills our students need to be future ready for those interested in pursuing science as a career.

I have been a two-time presenter at the National Association of Biology Teachers Conference.   I am also honored to have been selected as the Outstanding Biology Teacher for Texas in 2022.  

When I'm not at school, I'm probably at soccer with my two boys (Aiden, 13 and Ethan, 10) or spending time with my husband.  One of my favorite things to do is bring my family to Plano West events, so be sure to be on the lookout for the Drake family!
