I graduated from Lindenwood University in 2017 with a B.A. in Biology and a minor is Secondary Education. I am currently undergoing TEFL certification and entering University of Saint Louis Missouri's Graduate Biology program in Fall 2017. During my career as an instructor, I have taken in invested interest in getting children and young adults in my local community interested in S.T.E.M./S.T.E.A.M. related fields. I have worked with both St. Charles School District and Francis Howell School District to further student's understanding of core biological concepts, focusing primarily on middle school and high school students. Organizations I have worked for in the past include the Boys&Girls Club of St. Peters, SCCC College for All Kids, and FIRST Robotics with a focus on educating elementary school students. I hold the philosophy that intrinsic motivation is the most powerful tool towards reaching goals and dreams, and gear my lessons to fostering a drive for greater knowledge.

My strongest experience is with middle school and grade school science.
