I have been a full time science teacher at Mohonasen HS for over 25 years. In that time I have taught 8-12 grade Biology, AP Biology, Introduction to Medical Science and Anatomy & Physiology. I have also taught at 3 colleges. I have taught college Biology, Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology, and the full 2 semester Anatomy & Physiology course. I have worked in both the nursing and radiation technology programs. I wrote my district's 5th grade science curriculum and ran an after school STEAM program for grades 3-5 at Sage College as part of the Help Yourself Academy. This program worked with students from underserved urban populations.

I have extensive tutoring experience in HS and college level students. I am an AP Reader and a coach for the National Math and Science Initiative (NMSI). I coach and develop curriculum for NMSI. I work nationally, both in person and online, with teachers and students. I am also a scoring professional for the edTPA. I have multiple awards in education.
