I am originally from Washington, DC and I attended Howard University, graduating in 2002 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. Teaching is my way of giving back to the people that helped me so much along the way in school and in life. I feel obligated to help as many people with their journey as I am able. I was lucky to find my spot at McLean after being a long term substitute here for fifth grade. I loved the community so much that I applied for the available 7th grade Life Science teaching position and here I am. I love to travel and learn new things and I am fortunate to have a job that allows me the opportunity to explore my interests.
