I started teaching Mechanical Engineering at Cal Poly at 21 (I graduated a bit early!), and then started volunteering my time teaching in local high and jr high schools. I had also worked for NASA when I was 17 in addition to being a pilot, and all these things combined catapulted me into a life-long career in education and sharing my love for learning and science with others.
Need a quick activity for introducing fractions to your students? Look no further! This is a free resource that I use with my own students, both online and in-person, and it's always fun! Kids will get up and out of their seat to measure, count and build their fractions using this one-page activity. I hope you enjoy it!

Teaching style
I teach in a unique and totally fun way by having students focus on wonder, discovery, and exploration. My classes exceed state standards, STEM requirements, are are engaging, fun, and totally hands-on.
Awards & shining teacher moments
My online school has won many awards:
Top 100 Site for Homeschoolers by Homeschool.com
Blue Ribbon Award by Old Schoolhouse Magazine
Top 101 pick from Cathy Duffy's Review
...and so many more!
I won all kinds of awards when I was in school for mathematics and science, but I think the best awards I have ever received are the smiles I see on the faces of the students and parents when they get their a-HA! moments.
My own education history
I obtained a Bachelor’s and Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering at Cal Poly (also in Mathematics and a specialized study in High Temperature Gas Dynamics)
Additional biographical information
My company, Supercharged Science, provides science education to families and teachers, and it really is an expression of what I am committed to: helping people enjoy science as much as I do, learn something new, and having a total blast.
