A little about myself:

I grew up in Oak Cliff and graduated from the Science and Engineering Magnet in 1995. I earned a degree in electrical engineering and computer science at MIT and a master’s degree in science education from Western Governors University. I moved to Florida where I built robots for theme parks and programmed hardware for satellite TV. I travelled the world while working for three years and have been to over 40 countries. I got married in Vietnam where I lived and taught English for a year. I became a science teacher after coming back to America. This is my eighth year teaching. I teach Robotics, Biology, and AP Environmental Science.

I sponsor the Environmental Science Club, Volunteering Club, and Ping Pong Club.
