I am an experienced teacher with over fifteen years experience, as well as a certified Veterinary Technician. I have taught in the traditional classroom setting and hands on science based science programs where I take students out in the field. I am a graduate of Wayne State University and have my Masters of Art from Columbia University Teachers College where I studied Anatomy and Physiology. I am continuing my education in Medical Laboratory Technology with the desire to teach it. I am passionate about science, especially Biology, and love to instill that passion in my students. I instill a variety of modalities when I teach and assess which one works best for a particular student. I believe all students can learn as long as their learning style is addressed. I love to travel, but not in the traditional ways; I white water rafted through Costa Rica, explored the rainforest on foot, hiked through Dominican Republic, and tracked wolves one summer in Yellowstone National Park. In my spare time I kayak, run and read a lot of science literature. I also enjoy being a backyard biologist exploring the plant and animal life that my surroundings have to offer.
