Experience

Over 12 years of teaching experience. I have taught 6-8th for 10 years total, High School Sciences for 8 years total, and have taught Higher Education Chemistry 110 classes for 1 year.

Teaching style

Awards & shining teacher moments

Orange Frog for being teacher of the month at my school. I was a presenter at the AMLE 50th Celebration November 2023, November 2024, and November 2025.
