I have been a teacher at Archer Lodge Middle School stating the year it opened in 2007.  I moved here from Nevada to begin my first teaching role.  Prior to becoming a teacher, I attended Wext Liberty University. In addition to earning a Degree in Business Administration, I was also on the Basketball team. I spent 10 years working in the food and beverage industry in Las Vegas before deciding to persue teaching. I attended The University of Nevada Las Vegas where I studied secondary education in the field of science.  Prior to graduation, I accepted the position as a science teacher at ALMS on the lateral entry program where I earned my state certification in education. I have seen this school grow and have had the honor of educating over 1,500 students. My passion as a teacher is to help students grow as young upcoming adults and to learn how to learn.  I feel educating our youth is one of the most important jobs in the world.
