Hi Trailblazer Family!
I am so excited to join this team!

This is my 6th year teaching, and my first year at Heritage Middle School! I am so excited to join such a wonderful group of students and staff! I was previously at Jordan High School in Durham teaching Math 1, Math 2, Math 2 Honors, and Essentials of College Math. Before that, I taught 7th grade Math, 7 Plus, 8th grade Math, and Math 1/ Algebra 1 at East Cary Middle and Wendell Middle Schools. 

This year, I was fortunate enough to be selected as a Kenan Fellow through NC State University. I had the opportunity to intern this summer at NC State's Advanced Self-Powered Systems of Integrated Sensors and Technologies (ASSIST) Center making prototypes of wearable devices. I plan on teaching this technology to students that wish to do that this school year. It involves coding, problem-solving, and working with a group to solve a One-Health issue. I really think it could be life changing for everyone involved!

In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with my family, friends, and my 2 cats-- Abbie and Andy. I love looking at nature, hiking, going to the beach, and traveling. My next goal is to save money to go to Denmark with my mom. I love to read, work out and run, even if I am not great at it, and play soccer. I spend way too much of my time playing on technology, but I love being able to communicate with my friends and family quickly. 

I am a big sponge! I love to learn in any way that I can and share my thoughts with others! Please feel free to show me new things that you have learned throughout the year, as long it is not interrupting instructional time.

This was me presenting my wearable prototype of a UV sensing hat that would protect farmers and their livestock from skin cancer. This was part of my internship at NCSU for my Kenan Fellowship.
