I began officially teaching in Fall of 2023 at Kenwood High School, instructing classes of Biology, AP Environmental Science and STEM Juniors. I received a Bachelors Degree in Evolutionary Biology and Ecology from the University of Colorado at Boulder, and a minor in Russian Studies in 2017. After working as an animal trapper and horticulturist, I moved to Clarksville and received my Masters Degree in Secondary Science Education. I spent 4 years in the U.S. Army Infantry, stationed in Vilseck, Germany and Ft. Drum, NY, with one deployment to Afghanistan in 2010-2011.
