Hello and welcome to the Medical Academy of Bob Jones!!!  I teach in both pathways of the medical academy.  In the Health Science Pathway, I have taught Human Body Structures and Functions, Foundations of Health Science and Orientation to Health Science.  In the Project Lead the Way Pathway, I have taught Principles of Biomedical Science  (1st class), Human Body Systems (2nd class) and Medical Interventions (3rd class).  Some of you may end up having me each year for 3 years!

I have an extensive background in health care.  I began as a registered nurse and a travel nurse for the first 12 years of my career.  I returned to graduate school to become a nurse practitioner and practiced at an internal medicine practice in Decatur for 7 years.  During that time, I started their Diabetes Education Center.  In 2003, I began working for Medtronic Diabetes and an insulin pump trainer and later as a Diabetes Clinical Manager.  In 2012, I came to Bob Jones High School and have been working in their health science program since that time. 

During the summers, my family and I spend weeks traveling the United States with a pop-up camper, visiting national parks.  I also love to exercise, garden and craft.  My family and I attend St John the Baptist Catholic Church. 

You may have a chance to meet our rescue dog, Holly.  She will occasionally visit my classroom. 

I look forward to teaching you this year!!  I know the material is challenging, but you will definately learn a lot this year!!
