I am a mid-life career changer and have just finished my first FULL year of formal teaching. My expertise is in life sciences, particularly Animal Behavior, Zoology, Marine Science and Biology, but I am certified in 5-9 General Science. For the 20-21 school year, I taught all high school grades in Honors Marine Science and regular Environmental Science, and I am passionate about helping students to find excitement in the sciences.
