I have been a member of Nativity BVM High School's faculty since 2003. I can be found in the science department teaching advanced biology, biology, general biology, environmental science, and physical science. In addition to teaching science, I serve as the advisor for several organizations: Student Government, EcoClub, and coordinator of the Christmas Dance.
My enthusiasm and enjoyment for science exudes in my teachings. It is my hope that my compassion for teaching and learning will compel my students to do their best. I strive for excellence and require my students to do the same.

My other hobbies/interests include spending quality time with family and friends traveling (especially to the beach), reading, hiking, camping, tennis, swimming, insect collecting, and plant collecting.. I also remain active in my community as an environmentalist and local volunteer. Lastly, I enjoy being a fan to some of the greatest athletes in the area, my students.
Good Luck and Best Wishes Nativity Athletes!
