TEACHING EXPERIENCE

In informal education for the first part of my career as an environmental educator in museums, nature centers and zoos. Became leaders in education departments and wrote public programming as well as promotional products and worked educating pre-K through adults on the natural world. Once earning my masters in secondary education, I continued my career as a public school teacher in large districts and charter schools.

MY TEACHING STYLE

As an educator I have a passion for teaching and science. It is important to me that science helps students grow and learn about both themselves and the world around them. My teaching philosophy is based on providing students with opportunities to learn through hands on experiences and to use critical thinking to create a greater understanding of key concepts. I have taught and developed curriculum and programing for both non-traditional and traditional education fields. This experience provides insight on the best approaches to engage my audience.
