I have dedicated the past nine years to teaching within the New York City public school system. My teaching experience encompasses a range of science subjects, including general science for grades 6, 7, 8, and 9, as well as Living Environment. Furthermore, I am an active member of the Urban Advantage program. This program is a standards-based partnership that aims to enhance students' understanding of scientific inquiry through collaborations between urban public schools and cultural institutions focused on science, such as zoos, botanical gardens, museums, and science centers.
