Welcome to Nimitz High School!

I look forward to meeting all the new people this year. I am excited about World Geography! Our world is filled with diverse languages, rich cultures, unique landscapes, and complicated processes that I hope it engages your curiosity as a way to enrich your mind.

I graduated from the University of North Texas in 2007 with a B.A. in History. However, I am a life long learner and hope to cultivate and encourage others to the same end.

I have worked in humid and frigid warehouses for FedEx and Minyard's, pushed shopping carts for Wal-Mart, cleaned toilets at a QuikTrip convenience store, drafted papers and made copies in an attorney's office, and pulled skeet and trap at a shooting range. However, all of these jobs do not compare with the unique responsibilities and opportunities that the profession of teaching provides. I am proud to be a teacher. I cannot imagine a place I would rather be than teaching the students of Nimitz High School.

My schedule for 2009-2010 is....
