Teaching middle science was the perfect fit for me. I love the energy and enthusiasm the students bring each day. It is my goal every year to be the teacher that I never had.

Experience
I began my teaching career 22 years ago as an educator in an alternative high school program. I then shifted gears and took a position as a middle school teacher. Teaching middle science was the perfect fit for me. I love the energy and enthusiasm the students bring each day. It is my goal every year to be the teacher that I never had.
Teaching style
The foundation of my approach to teaching is based on high standards and rigorous assignments supported with well-structured classroom lessons. However, I counter balance this approach with heavy doses of comedy, gym, magic, and rock and roll.
I strive to help students bridge the gap between classroom lessons and how science works in the real world. Building relationships with students is a cornerstone of my teaching style. It's important for me to know the students beyond their achievement levels.
