Welcome to Ripple Effect science!
I believe that small moments of wonder and discovery can create a ripple effect that inspires a lifelong love of learning and appreciation of our natural world.
I aim to create those moments in my own teaching and to help other educators do the same. Here you'll find a growing collection of engaging science resources and original hand-drawn artwork created by me. No AI-generated images here!
With over a decade of experience in science education, including a specialty in marine science, I strive to create lessons that inspire curiosity and help students connect with the wonderful world around them. My background includes both classroom teaching and extensive outdoor and experiential education, which allows me to bring science to life through exploration, observation, and real-world connections.
While I have the most experience teaching middle school students, I have designed and led educational programs for learners ranging from PreK through college. Because every classroom is unique, I create my resources with flexibility in mind, making them easy to adapt for different ages, learning styles, and instructional settings.
Thank you so much for supporting my work, and I hope these resources inspire curiosity, discovery, and a deeper appreciation for the beautiful world around us!
