This is my fifth year teaching science, and my first year at Round Lake High School.  I teach General Biology and Honors Biology. I grew up in a small town in Wisconsin, where my graduating class was just 60 kids! I received my Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in Microbiology and Immunology.   Prior to teaching, I did research in both veterinary sciences and medical sciences at UW-Madison.  When I decided that I wanted to get out of research and into teaching, I attended Dominican University to get my Master of Arts in Teaching Degree.  I am married and have two high school aged children, Max and Clara.  I am a lifelong Badger fan and I enjoy spending time with my family, including my dogs and cats, traveling to new places, and working in my garden.
