I teach Physics here at TJ. I graduated from the University of Texas at El Paso in 2013 with a B.S. in Mathematics and Physics. I also received an M.S. in Physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2018. I try to build a collaborative, creative classroom where ideas are free to flow. I like to incorporate the arts, writing, and history into my lessons so that students develop an appreciation for the beauty and essential role that physics plays in our lives, while developing skills that will stay with them no matter which field they choose to pursue.

I teach Anatomy and Physiology/AP Biology. I am a strong advocate for student success and college readiness as I believes education is a weapon and that students are more tremendously capable than what they believe they can achieve. I involve my students in Project-Based Learning where they receive key knowledge, understanding and success skills through challenging problems and questions while having choices in how their project works and how it is created with true authenticity.

I teach Environmental Systems and BIOLOGY here at Thomas Jefferson. I'm the Science CIC.
