Welcome to Medical Science! Home of the Porter Spartan future health care professionals. Since 2011, we have had a history of excellence in Medical SkillsUSA and HOSA! 

This will be my 11th year at Porter High School as a Medical Sciences teacher. There have been so many wonderful students along the way. I am still cheering them on in their adult endeavors, especially if they continued with medicine for their careers!

Prior to teaching, I focused on my career as a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer at a local hospital, performing diagnostic studies and caring for patients from all departments such as Emergency, ICU, Med Surg, Rehab, Pediatrics, Labor & Delivery, NICU, as well as scheduled "Out-Patient" appointments. I worked with some of the best sonographers and radiologists around, and to this day, I am thankful for how much I learned from them. I have been a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer for 15 years which allows me to bring a lot of experience and insight to the classroom. During my high school years, I had the opportunity to volunteer at my mother's Adult Day Center in Huffman which was a great way to pique my interest in health care. I learned there to value people and appreciate our differences!

I encourage my students to consider their interests, personality, and natural abilities, and then we can work together to find a great fit for their career in health care. There are hundreds of health care career options and I feel there is a good fit for everyone. If students are willing to work diligently in their studies and treat their future patients with the highest quality of compassionate care, I know they can be successful! 

I initiated and developed the Clinical Practicum and Certified Nurse Assistant Program at PHS to give students a head start in their health care journey. Thank you New Caney ISD and Porter High School Admin for allowing us to offer the students such a wonderful opportunity.
