About the store
I have taught biology, earth science, and physical science to 7th through 10th graders for the past 10 years.

Teaching style
I realize that science is about discovery. I strive to incorporate
hands-on, inquiry-based activities into all my lessons. I also know that all students have diverse needs and preferences. I work hard to include various learning styles into my lessons to appeal to a variety of learners. I encourage students to ask meaningful questions and support them as they discover ways to answer those questions through the scientific process.
