Teaching style

Give students experiences. Our most memorable moments as children began with an adult who took the time to connect with and help us discover the world around us. We should get outside more, for work and play!

Awards & shining teacher moments

The coolest one (literally) so far has been an ice climbing scholarship with Eddie Bauer and Chicks with Picks! 21-22 District Elementary Teacher of the Year

My own education history

🟠 Over a decade experience teaching environmental science, conservation education, environmental education, general science education. 🟠 Taught science at an outdoor school for Texas Tech and worked for Texas Parks and Wildlife connecting community members to natural and cultural resources. 🟠 Developed a distance learning program, called TPWDiscover, from scratch to help TPWD reach out to K-12 school teachers and students. Before the pandemic made it a necessity 😉 🟠 Have taught 2nd, 4th, and 5th grade science in public school and K-12 in informal science education settings and undergraduate courses in higher education.
