I graduated from Central Michigan University with a MSA in general administration. My bachelors degree is in HRA/MGT. I have an associates degree in math, chemistry and biology. I taught math and science in the public and private school sectors for over 20 years grades 6-12. Before I became a teacher I worked in scientific research for a bio-science company for 20 years. I believe every student can learn and excel in any educational endeavor they choose. As a teacher I have accustomed myself to the many learning styles and diversity of the modern classroom. I retired from classroom teaching in 2015. However, I have been teaching part-time and full-time since my retirement. I love what I do and I fully enjoy the opportunity help students be successful. Having two consecutive careers in science and education allows me to help students bridge the gap between theory and practice. Out of the classroom I enjoy playing tennis, reading, walking, exercising and travel.
