I earned my BA in Physics from Cornell University in 2006 and MS in Curriculum & Instruction from The Pennsylvania State University in 2009. After failing to join the NASA astronaut corps because of my height, I have taught Physics since 2009 in Wilson, PA; Phoenix, AZ; and Chicago, IL; I have taught in HISD since 2019. Courses I taught include Applied Physics 1, Applied Physics 2, College Preparatory/On-Level Physics, Honors Physics, AP Physics C: Mechanics, AP Physics C: E&M, AP Physics 1, and AP Physics 2.
