Hello! I grew up in central Illinois and moved down to Texas 18 years ago. I teach IB Biology SL and HL and coach Academic Decathlon. My husband is an assistant principal at Carpenter Middle School but taught biology and coached athletics for 20 years before moving into administration. We have two children who keep us busy. Our daughter Sydney is in 8th grade at Murphy MS and plays club volleyball. Our son Jackson is in 3rd grade at Hunt Elementary and loves football, wrestling, and swimming. We adopted two kittens two years ago, Aria and Oreo. We enjoy traveling, spending time on the beach, and snorkeling. I love teaching and working at Plano East. We have the BEST students, parents, staff, and administrators.
