Currently I teach science at Iowa Park High School in Iowa Park, Texas. I have a course load consisting of: Integrated Physics and Chemistry, Chemistry, and Anatomy & Physiology. My emphasis and passion is in Biology (vertebrate and field) however, my certification is composite therefore I am able to teach multiple disciplines in the science field.During this time here since 2005, I have taught the following courses: AP biology, PreAP Biology, Biology, Anatomy & Physiology, Chemistry, Integrated Physics and Chemistry.

Currently I am teaching Life Science as Adjunct Faculty for WBU at the WF campus.

I was working full time at the time at Iowa Park High School, and trying to take care of a growing family while taking graduate courses at MSU. Through the birth of my first two children, the death of my brother and his entire family in a plane crash in August of 2006, a divorce in 2007, multiple back surgeries, a remarriage and the birth of my third child, graduate school just took slightly longer for me to accomplish than most! Thankfully MSU, and my professors, worked with me to accomplish my goals, and those were certainly accomplished. I was able to take two courses (in separate years) of Tropical Rainforest Ecology in Panama during this stay at MSU as a graduate student, and during the summer term prior to my graduation, I worked as a Graduate Field Research Assistant and was paid a stipend to gathering data pertaining to my thesis. During this time, I was able to travel to San Angelo State University, and The University Of New Mexico to gather Ocelot data for my thesis research.

During the year of 2003-2004, I had the experience to teach in the Learning Lab. There I was able to help students in various disciplines and in various grades with modifications. I also taught a 7th grade math course and a TAKS remediation course. The next school year, I was hired as the Varsity Volleyball coach, Assistant track coach. My duties in the coaching area were to manage budgets, transportation (drive the bus), discipline of individuals and the team when needed, scheduling, and time/activity management of practices. My teaching duties changed that year as well to a load of Biology, and PreAP Biology.

I was hired in August of 2000 to teach PE, Biology, IPC and be the Girl's Assistant Volleyball, Basketball, and Track coach. I was under an internship for the first semester of my first year teaching (Fall of 2000), but Graduated from MSU that December and continued with Iowa Park High School with those same teaching and coaching duties until I left in 2003.
