Normal Park Museum Magnet

I graduated from UTK in 1996 with a bachelor's in ecology/environmental studies. After working for several years as a newspaper reporter, I returned to earn my Master's in Science Education in 2001. I then worked as an instructor for one year at Driftwood Nature Center in St. Simons Island, Georgia. Next, I worked for five years as a 5th grade Math/Science teacher at North Windy Ridge School in Asheville, NC. While working in NC, I earned my National Board certification. Since moving to Chattanooga in summer 2008, I have worked for the past two years as a 6th grade science teacher at NPMM Upper.
