As a dual-certified public school teacher with a Bachelor's in Biology (minor in Biochemistry) and a Master's in STEM Education, I bring a wealth of experience in educating students in grades 7-12. My academic background has provided me with a deep understanding of the sciences, which I have enthusiastically shared with my students through a variety of courses. Over my teaching career, I have effectively taught Chemistry, Honors Chemistry, Biology, Advanced Biology, and Environmental Science, adapting my methods to meet the needs of each unique classroom setting. My teaching philosophy is rooted in interactive, student-centered methods, emphasizing hands-on learning and critical thinking to cater to diverse learning styles. This approach has proven successful in not only enhancing students' understanding of complex scientific concepts but also in promoting a lively and engaging learning environment.

Having taught in various classroom settings and provided one-on-one support, I am adept at engaging students across a wide age range, fostering both their academic growth and enthusiasm for science. My commitment to education goes beyond the curriculum; I strive to inspire my students to appreciate the wonders of science in their everyday lives and encourage them to pursue their own inquiries. My dedication to teaching is driven by a passion for science education and a commitment to helping students achieve their full potential. Through continuous professional development and collaboration with fellow educators, I remain at the forefront of educational strategies and technologies, ensuring that my teaching methods are both innovative and effective.
