"As a dual-certified public school teacher with a Bachelor's in Biology (minor in Biochemistry) and a Master's in STEM Education, I bring a wealth of experience in educating students in grades 7-12. My academic background has provided me with a deep understanding of the sciences, which I have enthusiastically shared with my students through a variety of courses.

My teaching philosophy is rooted in interactive, student-centered methods, emphasizing hands-on learning and critical thinking to cater to diverse learning styles. This approach has proven successful in not only enhancing students' understanding of complex scientific concepts but also in promoting a lively and engaging learning environment.

Having taught in various classroom settings and provided one-on-one support, I am adept at engaging students across a wide age range, fostering both their academic growth and enthusiasm for science. My commitment to education goes beyond the curriculum; I strive to inspire my students to appreciate the wonders of science in their everyday lives and encourage them to pursue their own inquiries. My dedication to teaching is driven by a passion for science education and a commitment to helping students achieve their full potential. Through continuous professional development and collaboration with fellow educators, I remain at the forefront of educational strategies and technologies, ensuring that my teaching methods are both innovative and effective." less...
