I love being a part of the Beechwood Bengal family! This will be my 3rd year teaching at BMS, and 12th year teaching overall. I received my B.S. from Penn State University and my Masters from the University of South Carolina. I am certified in Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education, Middle School Math and Middle School Science. I am proud to be a National Board Certified Teacher in Early Adolescent Science. I am looking forward to bringing my experience and passion for learning to our new Design and Modeling lab. I am also one of the coaches for our Bengal Bots Robotics team!  When I’m not at school, I can be found adventuring with my husband (hiking, camping, mountain biking, kayaking, and scuba diving), playing ice hockey, reading, and cuddling with my fur babies!
