About the store
As a former professional aquarist/biologist, I took my skills into the classroom to teach Marine Biology, Zoology, Aquarium Science, and Kinesiology. By allowing students the opportunity to get hands on with animals, I feel it greatly enhanced their engagement, motivation, reliability, and communication.

Experience
As a former professional aquarist/biologist, I took my skills into the classroom to teach Marine Biology, Zoology, Aquarium Science, and Kinesiology. By allowing students the opportunity to get hands on with animals, I feel it greatly enhanced their engagement, motivation, reliability, and communication.
Teaching style
I teach grades 9-12 and I believe in a mix of text/lesson type classes and hands on/activity based classes. I like to implement small projects and paperwork that build together to create a larger project by the end of a semester. I'm strict but firm in the classroom.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I enjoy the past student "drop by's" , emails, and messages regarding their success in life and how impactful the hands on classes were for them while in high school.
My own education history
I have a Bachelor's of Science in Biology with an Environmental Science Minor and a Master's in Education Technology.
