Tell us about your family.
My husband, Monty, and I have four awesome kiddos named Nehemiah, Hannah, Moriah, and Jonathan.  They are our greatest adventure and joy.  We also have a crazy dog named Luna!
 
What are your interests outside of work?
I love to read and SLEEP!  I love spending time with my family.  We do a lot of outdoor activities, from theme parks to camping, and all our kids are involved in a variety of sports, so we stay busy, busy, busy.
 
What are your favorite courses to teach, and why?
My favorite subject to teach is Life Science (but Earth Science is getting pretty close, as well). It is such a joy to connect God to science and watch as students make the connections that give them a firm foundation in their faith AND in science.
 
Tell us a favorite book or quote.
"Little science takes you from God, but more of it takes you to Him. The more I study nature, the more I stand amazed at the work of the Creator."  - Louis Pasteur
