"I completed my Bachelor of Science in secondary education with a major in integrated science and a minor in chemistry at Central Michigan University in 2009. I received my Master of Science in Educational Leadership-Principalship from Saginaw Valley State University in 2013.

Since graduation, I have been employed as a full-time classroom teacher working with a variety of classes at multiple grade levels. Courses that I have taught include high school general chemistry, physics, and astronomy, as well as 6th and 7th grade general science and 6th grade crime scene investigation. I love tutoring because it allows me not only to improve a student's knowledge, but also to help increase their level of self-confidence. Knowledge is power!

My passion for teaching science stems from a lifelong desire to better understand the world around me. I recall having countless questions as a child about topics such as animal adaptations, atoms, and the universe at large. Discovering answers to these questions has always been an empowering experience for me, and I have found my calling in cultivating this curiosity within those I teach.

The world is a big, amazing place. Everything you see, feel, hear, and experience- even the thoughts in your brain- involve science. Feel free to contact me to schedule a lesson in one of my topics of expertise and I'll work with you to understand science- and the world- at a higher level." less...
