I graduated from SIUE in 2021 with a B.S. in chemistry and a professional educators license for High School and Middle School Science, and I did my senior thesis on biosynthesis of metallic nanoparticles.

I am currently attending ISU for a M.S. in chemistry. 

I previously worked as a conservation educator for a local zoo and as an engineer for the National Forest Service. I was in the classroom teaching honours and dual credit chemistry in the St Louis area before coming to Ridgeview. This is my third year here at Ridgeview. 

When I am not in the classroom, I enjoy traveling, scuba diving, fencing, and gaming.
