"I hold a bachelor’s degree in biomedical science with a minor in chemistry, followed by a master’s degree in education with a focus on science instruction. In addition to my formal degrees, I earned a certification in educational technology, which has strengthened my ability to integrate digital tools, virtual platforms, and interactive resources into my teaching. My academic background combines strong content knowledge in the life and physical sciences with training in pedagogy, assessment, and student-centered instructional design.

I have approximately fifteen years of experience teaching high school science in a traditional classroom setting. Throughout my career, I have taught a range of courses including biology, chemistry, anatomy, and forensic science, working primarily with students in grades 9–12. My teaching approach emphasizes clarity, real-world application, and active learning through labs, case studies, and inquiry-based activities. I focus on helping students build both conceptual understanding and practical skills, while also supporting diverse learners through differentiated instruction and clear scaffolding.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I taught science courses virtually, adapting my instruction to online and hybrid environments. This experience strengthened my ability to explain complex concepts in multiple ways, provide individualized feedback, and maintain student engagement in one-on-one and small-group settings through digital platforms. Across all contexts, I aim to create a supportive learning environment where students feel confident asking questions, developing critical thinking skills, and making meaningful connections to the material." less...
