Teaching style

I do my best to teach the way the Next Generation Science Standards were intended: with a phenomenon anchoring every unit, and as much student-led inquiry as possible.

My own education history

I attended K-12 school in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. I completed my undergraduate education at Michigan State University, getting Bachelor's degrees in Genetics and Psychology before switching to teaching. I did my student teaching in the Lansing, MI area and am certified in Biology and Integrated Science. I am now working on a Master's degree in Teaching and Curriculum, and am applying for doctoral programs for next fall.
