Personal: I am entering my 13th year of education. Before becoming a teacher, I worked as a producer, editor, and writer for Fox Sports in Los Angeles and Fox Sports Southwest in Dallas. I enjoy taking road trips with my family, playing tennis and pickleball, watching my oldest son play baseball, my youngest son on stage in his latest theater production, and joining my daughter in all her exciting adventures.

Philosophy of Education: There is no reason why learning cannot be fun. I strive to create a learning environment where students are able to laugh and learn - and of course explore this wonderful world of education all around us.
