Howdy! I am a native Texan and recent resident of beautiful Wyoming. I have been blessed to work as an educator for the past 26 years facilitating authentic learning opportunities in K-12 classrooms. I hold a BA in English, an M.A.Ed. in Educational Leadership, and a Ph.D. in Education: Learning, Instruction, and Innovation. During my time in public education, I have served as a teacher, literacy coach, school improvement specialist, reading interventionist, teacher development specialist, curriculum writer, and educational consultant. I am thrilled to be a part of the UW family in a role that allows me to continue my work in K-12 classrooms while supporting the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences engineering initiative with K-14 STEM outreach. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, kayaking, camping, fishing, baking, cooking, reading, laughing, and spending time with my beautiful family.
