I am a graduate from the University of Nevada, Reno and I received my Master's degree in epidemiology. I am most passionate about teaching biology and chemistry. I am a firm supporter of teaching students how to critically think for themselves instead of simply regurgitating facts and following the opinions of their peers. My hope is that I can impart this necessary skill for life to all of my students as they move forward in their own personal journeys. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, playing tennis, and taking pictures.
