Experience

Hello, I have taught middle school Life Science for the past 22 years. Each and every day has been a new experience. Kids in the classroom tend to make that happen. I earned my bachelors of Elementary Education at Idaho State University and my masters degree in Middle School Science Curriculum and Instruction at The University of Nevada Las Vegas.

Teaching style

Teaching Life Science concepts using a variety of labs and projects make science exciting.

Awards & shining teacher moments

My students honor me almost every day.

My own education history

My first teaching assignment was fourth grade. I continued teaching fourth in Pocatello Idaho for eight years. I relocated to Las Vegas Nevada and have taught life science in a middle school setting for twenty-two years.
