Biography

I fell in love with teaching science in graduate school, and have been doing so for the past 8 years.
I have taught at the high school and college levels, and love sharing my passion for the subject with students! I have taught chemistry, human biology, general biology, environmental science, anatomy and physiology, and marine biology.
I studied the marine biology during my undergraduate and graduate studies. The ocean is my happy place, and I hope to inspire others to help protect it.
