Hi! Welcome to my homepage!
A little bit about myself:
This is my sixth year being an Amundsen Viking!
I graduated from Western Illinois University with cum laude honors in 2013. I majored in history education and Spanish. Sadly, I am not able to speak Spanish to the level that I used to. One of my goals for the year is to practice more and speak confidently.
Previously, I taught at Rickover Naval Academy for five years where I taught a variety of social studies courses and Exploring Computer Science.
Currently teaching:
Exploring Computer Science/ Fundamentals of IT
Units:
o Human-Computer Interaction
o Problem Solving
o Intro to Programming
o Data
This course is designed to introduce students to a wide range of opportunities in the field of science. technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) through an exploration of engaging and accessible topics. It covers how the Internet works, how to analyze big data, how to programs, and how computers impact our everyday lives. Each student will also develop better thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, writing, and speaking skills as they become better prepared for college and careers. Furthermore, students will be engaged in several projects to demonstrate the real-world application of computing.

Applying Computer Science
o Robotics
o Artificial Intelligence
o E-Textiles
This course is designed to build on the knowledge and skills that students learned in the first four units of the Exploring Computer Science curriculum. The wide range of opportunities in the field
of science. technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) through an exploration of engaging and accessible topics. Each student will develop better thinking, problem‐solving,
collaboration, writing and speaking skills as they become better prepared for college and careers. Furthermore, students will be engaged in several projects to demonstrate the real‐world
application of computing.
