For the past 19 years, I have been proud to teach chemistry and AP chemistry at Oak Creek High School. Growing up in Milwaukee, I earned my BA in Secondary Education at UWM. I taught physical science and chemistry in the Chemistry Shop program at Milwaukee Technical High School for the first 9 years of my career, before leaving MPS for the Oak Creek Franklin school district.

About ten years ago, I began teaching AP Chemistry, taking over the program from longtime chemistry teacher, Mr. Stenmark. Three years ago, the AP Chemistry program partnered with Black Bear Bottling to develop a new two flavored soda combination as a post-exam research project. Working with the Sales & Marketing department, this project has resulted in the establishment of the Knightro Fusion soda brand that is being sold at Woodman's in Oak Creek. Proceeds from sales of the Knightro Fusion soda (both cherry vanilla flavor and the orange cream flavors) have funded four $500 Black Bear scholarships for AP chemistry and Marketing students.

In my spare time, I enjoy scuba diving and salmon fishing on Lake Michigan. I also advise the scuba club at Oak Creek High School.

I look forward to working with all of my students this year!
