Hello! I am a biology/environmental science teacher situated in Virginia, in the United States. I have been teaching since 2021; I started off with two years of only biology courses (which were, at least, easy to plan for!) before being asked to take on environmental science, which I've come to enjoy quite a lot!
In high school, I started 'teaching' by becoming an unofficial tutor for my classmates in a couple of different classes, which first gave me the teaching bug. A mentorship during my senior year, during which I was able to spend time in a classroom as a practicum student, cemented the decision! I have also helped volunteer with a local therapeutic riding program, which has greatly shaped the way that I approach students in my room.
