I have been teaching for 20 years- I began my teaching career in 4th grade, transitioned to 6th grade, and now teach High School Biology and AP Biology.
Instruction should be hands-on, student-centered, and engaging. I like to foster students' natural curiosity and empower students to be self-directed discoverers. Ideally, all of us (teachers) should be "guides on the side" instead of "sages on stages".
NYS Master Teacher
I learned to harness my intense curiosity to help kids unlock and discover their passion for the world around them.
I have an amazing husband, 2 wonderful kids, two very hairy dogs, and too many ducks, chickens, pigs, and turkeys to count. I love to spend time with my family and friends, travel, eat, and read.
