"I am a state certified teacher with 20+ years experience in science education. My undergraduate degree is in Secondary Biology and General Science, and my Masters degrees are in Biology and Educational Leadership. Certifications include biology, chemistry, general science, environmental ed, school administration, and strength and conditioning. I am also a USA Hockey Certified Coach, and am Safe Sport trained.

My teaching experience includes courses in Human Anatomy/Physiology, AP Biology, AP Environmental Science, Biology (regular and advanced), Chemistry, General Science, and Ecology. Methodologies include lectures, labs, and hands-on activities, depending on the needs of the student and context of the class.
