About Me

I teach science in Coppell, Texas, and have been in the classroom for 20 years.  I am an Apple Distinguished Educator and the 2015 Region 10 Teacher of the Year in Texas. You can find my classroom story at apple.com/education.  

I strongly believe that students should have a voice in their education and that school needs to drastically change to meet the needs of our changing world.  School should look different than it did when I was there and I am doing what I can to change student experiences.  They shouldn't constantly be preparing for what is next, but should be contributing to improving our world each day.

Random facts about me...I love music festivals and peanut butter cups.  This year starts my 20th year in classroom which means I have officially been teaching longer than my students have been alive.  They don't even know who Seinfeld is.    :\

Oh and I am a science teacher, not an English teacher, so no judging of my writing skills.

You can find me on twitter or email me if you have questions.
