TEACHING EXPERIENCE

5 years of teaching experience in a high school Biology classroom. Have taught science lessons at middle school and elementary levels as well.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Inquiry and exploration

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

Published in "The Science Teacher"

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

Graduated from the University of Wisconsin - River Falls with a Bachelor's of Science in Biotechnology and completed the STEMteach program to receive teaching certification.

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

During my time teaching high school Biology, I really enjoyed creating fun and engaging assignments for students to complete. I challenged my students to think critically and explore many concepts through inquiry. Although I am no longer in the classroom, I have a passion for Biology education and want to share the many activities that I created during my time as an educator.
