I have proudly served in NNPS for 20 years and I love being part of the innovative STEM team. One of the best parts of my job is developing division-wide STEM programs and supporting teachers as they work passionately to engage students with innovative practices. I love being a lifelong learner and I believe there is no greater calling than the field of education. When I'm not working, there is a good chance you'll find me on the beach or on the Noland Trail.
