Welcome to my Science Classroom!
Hello Students and Families,
I am very excited to be a part of the wonderful family of teachers here at NBMS. I look forward to spending time with my students this year as we go on a learning journey to understand the amazing world we live in. I foster an engaging classroom where a student's curiosity helps fuel the desire to learn science.
I obtained my B.S. at the University of North Carolina Wilmington in Marine Biology/Chemistry and my Masters of Science at Oregon State University in Science Education. During my years in college I developed a deep passion for education. I was a leader at UNCW's Marine Quest and a part of OSU's SMILE (Science and Math Investigative Learning Experiences) program.
Before coming to NBMS, I enjoyed teaching and developing educational programs about space, oceans, and rocks at the Colburn Earth Science Museum in Asheville. I also briefly taught my favorite subjects at a high school in Oregon: Marine Biology, Oceanography, and Evolution.
I live in Weaverville with my family. I enjoy spending time with my husband and my awesome, wonderful, soccer playing, nature loving children: Oceanstar, Rainesong, Laykesnow, Skyelily, and Meadowrose. All of which now attend or did attend schools in the NB school district.
