As a dedicated educator working on a Master's in Secondary Science Education from Western Governors University, I am passionate about inspiring high school students in the fields of science and mathematics. With over two years of teaching experience, including my time at a small school in Montana, I strive to make learning engaging through hands-on activities, visual aids, and interactive lessons. My background as a Mechanical Engineer with over 25 years experience allows me to connect theoretical concepts to real-world applications, fostering a deeper understanding of subjects like physics and chemistry. I believe in creating a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to explore and ask questions. Outside the classroom, I enjoy crafting educational puzzles and activities that enhance the learning experience, reflecting my commitment to making science accessible and enjoyable for all.
