TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have a B.S. in Biology with a minor in Chemistry and a M.Ed in curriculum and instruction. I teach life science, created a brand new Forensics course and remediation class for at-risk seniors.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Controlled Chaos. When the students are truly engaged in a topic, experiment, or challenge, things can feel a little chaotic. I encourage students to "try it and see what happens" because even if they fail, they still learned.
