I'm not from Texas, but I got here as quick as I could!  I graduated from Ohio State University with a Bachelors of Science in Biology, then moved to Houston to pursue my Ph.D. in Neuroscience at Baylor College of Medicine.  My research focused on the cellular mechanisms of learning and memory.  I look forward to exploring the wonders of life science with my Biology students this year at Dulles!  When I'm not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my husband and ten year old twins.  Our favorite things to do are play with our dogs and go to the beach.
