I am a Seattle Public Schools substitute paraprofessional and Grinnell College graduate with a General Science BA with an endorsed concentration of mathematics, followed by many physics courses. I also have an Atmospheric Sciences BS from the University of Kansas and am working to complete Washington certification.

My experience providing services for an area private school, as well as my course work at Western Governors University in teaching and curriculum, drives me to continue to serve an increasingly culturally and neurally diverse society. I consider myself a life-long learner and peer expert (rather than a lecturer) and want to demonstrate to as many people as possible that understanding *how* one learns is a major part of *what* one learns.
