I have loved education since the second grade when I was able to help a friend with a math assignment. In high school and college, I held jobs teaching, tutoring and mentoring. When working on my degree at MSU, I fell in love with the campus, atmosphere, and their tight knit community of helpful and caring staff and faculty. This made such an impression that I wanted to return once I received my master's degree from UNT. I am still drawn to the community feel of the dedicated faculty and campus. I also love and feel very privileged to teach our population of eager, excited, and talented students from this area as well as our other national and international students. Professionally, I care about encouraging and educating students in chemistry so that they can realize their career goals. My projects include providing on and off campus learning experiences in chemistry and STEM and promoting safe learning environments. Personally, I am a wife to my better half for over 30 years and have three children. They are a source of strength and love that I use to serve others. Go Mustangs!
