I am so excited about joining Lightridge's science team as a biology teacher this year! I graduated from James Madison University in 2019 with a B.S. in Biology, and I recently completed my M.S. in Secondary Education at Old Dominion University. I absolutely LOVE science and am licensed in both biology and chemistry. 

I am from Virginia Beach and have lived there most of my life. My favorite hobbies are going to the beach (my happy place!), visiting amusement parks, reading, playing volleyball, and hiking. Additionally, I love observing and discussing nature; my favorite animal is a sea horse, and my favorite plant is a hyacinth. I also have a black lab/corgi mix who is posing with me in the picture to the left. :)

I highly look forward to empowering our learning community this year and helping students recognize and develop their passions.

Go Bolts!
