This is my 8th year teaching! After recently switching to middle school science & STEM, I'm thrilled to share some of the many projects and units I've created along the way. I'm currently crafting resources on the sunny beaches of Northeast Florida :) Check out what I've got so far!

Teaching style

My teaching style has been heavily influenced by the book, "Teach Like a Pirate," and by amazing friends and colleagues who have helped me along the way. I like for my activities to be as hands on as possible and I am constantly looking for new ways to boost student engagement.
