About Me

I graduated from Virginia Tech in 2014 with a B.Sc. in Wildlife Science and a minor in theater. Through my major's professional society, I taught in Virginia schools at a variety of age levels, from elementary to high school. All lesson plans I created (in subjects like geology, oceanography, evolution, etc.) adhered to "Standards Of Learning" set by the state of Virginia. Since graduating I have been an interpretive naturalist at Croydon Creek Nature Center in Rockville, MD, a teaching fellow at the New York Aquarium in Brooklyn, NY, and now I work within the Education Department at the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan, NY. Given my background in the natural sciences, my favorite subjects to teach include environmental science, ecology, and biology. What I love about teaching is making seemingly difficult concepts easy to comprehend by applying them to real world scenarios. I firmly believe that all students can thrive when lessons are tailored to their learning styles. When my students succeed, I succeed. In my spare time I enjoy hiking, wildlife watching, and a good sci-fi movie.
