Shortly thereafter, I moved to the Dallas area to be with my fiance. Currently, I am a Research Associate at the Botanical Research Institute of Texas and Associate Professor of Microbiology with Collin County Community College. I have 4 years of experience in tailoring my teaching techniques to reach individual students. Every person is different, and everyone learns in different ways. I love seeing the moment when the light turns "on" and understanding blossoms.

Reading history, science and science-fiction; photography (nature, landscapes, plants); football (Ohio State Buckeyes!); learning the guitar
