I graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago with a degree in physics in 2001 and recieved my master's degree in Geoscience from Mississippi State in 2007. In 2007, I also achieved National Board Certification in Physics. I currently teach all levels of physics (Regular, Honors, and IB) to 11th and 12th graders. I have worked many different jobs in my life but nothing has given me the satisfaction that teaching gives me. Teaching has been both, the most difficult, and the most rewarding job that I have ever had. I feel priviledged to have worked with so many talented students in my life (over 1000) and I have been lucky enough to stay in contact with many of them so that I could witness the successes that they have become.
