I have taught dance for 10 years. The last three of those years I also taught 4th and 5th grade science to some amazing students! I am now full time at the middle school and high school level teaching dance classes.

Teaching style
I believe in hands on experiences in the classroom! Students should be guided through inquiry based lessons where they lead the conversations and ask questions with guidance from the teacher. I love to plan and be organized in every aspect of my life and career and I feel that has led to my success in the science classroom.
