"I hold a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education with an emphasis in Biology and Chemistry from Oklahoma State University, where I received numerous scholarships and awards as an Honors College student. My educational background provided me with a strong foundation in both scientific concepts and effective teaching methodologies, which I have honed throughout my career. I have extensive experience teaching science at the high school and college levels and remain committed to delivering high-quality instruction.

Over the course of 12 years, I taught a variety of courses related to Biology, and AP-level science courses to students ranging from middle school to undergraduate pre-nursing and premed students. My teaching philosophy centers on making science engaging and accessible through hands-on experiments, real-world applications, and innovative approaches such as the flipped classroom model. I have also worked one-on-one with students to provide targeted tutoring for standardized test preparation and academic improvement. My experience includes teaching in classroom settings, mentoring students in science competitions, and providing individualized support to foster confidence and mastery of challenging material both in person and remotely.

In addition to my classroom experience, I have worked as an environmental analyst and lab professional for over seven years. This role has enhanced my ability to apply scientific principles to real-world scenarios, which enriches the practical examples I share with students. My unique blend of teaching experience and professional expertise allows me to tailor lessons to meet diverse learning needs while inspiring a genuine interest in science." less...
