TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I've taught middle school (Pre-AP and MYP) science since the fall of 2012 for Houston Independent School District in Texas, Wahaha International School in China, Episcopal Day School in Georgia, George Washington Academy in Morocco, and Colegio Anglo Colombiano in Colombia.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I definitely prefer for my students to learn by doing. Hands-on, student-centered learning activities like lab work, games, and small-group stations keep the class fun and engaging, but there have to be reading and writing days, too.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

I graduated Summa Cum Laude. I've hosted/mentored a student teacher and a struggling, certified teacher in my room for a semester each. But, of course, the greatest honor is when a student/parent says that they/their child really enjoyed learning in my class and that I helped excite them/their child about learning science.

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

I hold a Bachelor's of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies (Chemistry, Biology, Geology, Physics, Astronomy) with a focus on 4th through 8th grade Science Education from the University of Houston, Class of 2012.

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

In addition to education, I have also worked in the military, in retail sales, and in entertainment.
