I have taught and/or tutored mathematics and science in California, Kansas, Florida, and Missouri. It seems that I've always loved math and science. Now, I especially enjoy helping others understand those subjects with the hope that maybe,...

...If you absorb the ideas of a learning unit, and then practice the material, you can expect to be able to play that instrument, and play it relatively well, over time. It is just that simple! Right now my biggest non-academic interest is programming, mostly AI and machine learning. Which still sounds academic, I know,...

...translation fascinated me immensely. I love working and communicating with people, so I decided to start my career as a Teacher. Over the course of fourteen years as a German Teacher, my approach to student education has shifted from an emphasis on my teaching to a more central focus on student learning.

...imaginable. We didn't just learn English; we explored the world. Our journey in the classroom wasn't limited to papers, grammar, and vocabulary though they were important components. We explored history through our novel readings, debated and wrote essays using primary sources from the Library of Congress, and changed a governor's viewpoint on the environment with...

...I continued to hone skills of science while working for The United States Geological Survey outside of Washington, D.C. Here I obtained a wide variety of laboratory and field knowledge prior to beginning a Master's in Aquatic Ecology at Purdue University.
