I love science! For 20 years I have taught many science classes at the high school level and have enjoyed helping students make that connection between science and their individual lives. Science CAN be fun but also can have meaning to everyone! It doesn't have to be scary but is relevant to so much in our lives. My experiences as a researcher, teacher, nature lover, and parent all come together as I work with students and I look forward to this opportunity!
