Welcome to 7th grade Science!
I am excited to be back in the classroom after 4 years of working in a lab at a chemical company in South Carolina. I grew up in Chicago and attended Clemson University, where is obtained my undergraduate and graduate degrees. I'm looking forward to a great year with your students at Enka Middle. Please reach out with any questions or concerns.
