About Me

Welcome to my Engineering, Manufacturing, Aviation, and Physics Aims Concurrent Enrollment classes!

I am excited to welcome students into a space where curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving come together. Since beginning my teaching career in 2006, I have loved helping students discover what they are capable of building, designing, questioning, and creating. Whether we are exploring engineering challenges, manufacturing processes, electronics, welding, coding, robotics, aviation, or physics, my goal is to help students see how these skills connect to the real world and to their own futures.

With a background in aerospace sciences, I am especially passionate about space exploration and the way it brings together science, technology, engineering, and imagination. I believe that space, engineering, and hands-on technical fields are for everyone, and I love helping students find their own place in these exciting areas.

One of my favorite parts of teaching is connecting students with opportunities and inspiration from organizations such as NASA, JPL, and the ISS. I want students to know that the work they do in class matters and that their ideas, questions, and creativity can lead to amazing possibilities.

If you are interested in aerospace, robotics, manufacturing, electronics, welding, building, coding, aviation, physics, or space exploration, stop by the Tech Ed rooms. I would love to hear about your favorite project, robot, build, or space fact!
