About the store

Experience

Working in high school education for over 18 years, my goal has always been to grow in my craft and translate the passion I have for inquiry and learning about the biological and scientific world to my students. I am wholeheartedly devoted to the learning process and take great joy in my students’ curiosity, successes and growth as scholars and citizens of the world.

Teaching style

My true passions lie in developing thoughtful, relevant and challenging teaching resources for use in the science classroom. It is my goal that many of my resources will not only encourage students to process and internalize the required course curriculum, but also to be encouraged to become critical thinkers and thoughtful contributors to the science classroom and greater society as they grow in critical and creative competency and autonomy.
