Mooresville Middle School
About Me.
I have been teaching 8th grade science for 13 years and this year will be my 7th year at Mooresville Middle School. I am the Boys Tennis coach here at MMS. I am originally from the Winston-Salem area and currently live in Davie County where I commute to and from every day. I have been married for 26 years and have two daughters. We have a dog and two cats and when I am not working I enjoy riding my bike all around the state on and off the road.

About You.
I like to start the year by giving parents an opportunity to tell me something about their student. If you could please click on and complete the SHORT Parent/Student Survey Linked below to tell me about your student and update your contact information I would really appreciate it. I enjoy reading all the awesome things parents have to say about their kids and it helps me get to know them as a person. PLEASE CLICK THE LINK BELOW. Thanks for taking time to fill it out.
About Us.
Learning new things should be fun and interesting for everyone and we should never stop striving to learn. My classroom is a safe, engaging, non-judgmental, collaborative space where kids can be kids. My goal as a teacher is to build student's confidence in themselves and their abilities so that no challenge can ever hold them back. Here are some of the topics we will explore together over the course of this year.
The Hydrosphere - Water on Earth, why is it so special?
A Changing Earth - How has our planet changed over time?
Disease - What is it? What causes it? How we attempt to prevent and cure it?
Ecosystems - How living organisms on Earth interact with each other and their environment.
Energy - How humans convert, and use nonrenewable and renewable energy.
Molecular Biology - The effects of diet and exercise on the human body.
Chemistry - Classification of matter, the Periodic Table, using properties of matter to create useful products.
