I am a graduate of Iowa State University with a degree in science education. I received my Masters from Viterbo University in higher science education. Since graduation, I have taught for 24 years in both middle and high school science. I am passionate about all types of science, including earth and space, biology, chemistry, anatomy and forensics. I love to teach science using hands on learning, case studies and problem based learning. I value relationships that I have made with my students, encouraging them to ask deep questions about the world around them.
