Born and raised in California, I arrived in Clarksville/Ft. Campbell in 1999 courtesy of the U.S. Army. After I ended my military service, I earned my B.S. in History with minors in Geography and Secondary Education from Austin Peay State University. I have also earned a Master of Educational Technology degree from Boise State University. Having previously taught at Northeast High for 8 years, I made the move to teach and coach at CHS in 2015. My Tennessee History and Contemporary Issues classes this year will incorporate collaborative learning strategies and application of 21st Century skills in addition to traditional methods.
