About me
I have my BA in genetics and molecular biology and a secondary education certificate from Northwestern University.  I taught two years at Thornwood High School in South Holland, IL. Then I returned to school to get my Masters of Science in Forensic Science from University of Illinois at Chicago.  This is my fifth year at Plano High School. 

Outside of school (and school work), I spend a lot of time with my family and I love watching baseball. Go White Sox! :-)
