Greetings!

I have been teaching science and math for fourteen years, eleven of them here at Saint Joe. I graduated from Calvin College in 1998 with a major in physics and minor in math. I earned my Masters in Science Education from Ball State University. I have been married to my husband for 14 years and we now have three wonderful children. This year I am teaching three classes: 4th hour - AP Physics, 5th hour - Physics, 6th hour - Physics. I also co-coach Science Olympiad with teacher Kevin Khan.

I am looking forward to a wonderful year! What an awesome opportunity I have to teach something I love to such a great group of students at such a great school!

Favorite book of all time: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis

More recently, an interesting physics related read was Physics of the Impossible by Michio Kaku
