I am a dedicated STEM educator with over 20 years of experience teaching high school science, including advanced placement courses. I hold a B.A. in Chemistry from Knox College and have two masters' degrees in science education and Teacher Leadership. Throughout my career, I have been passionate about making STEM accessible and engaging for all, believing that every student deserves a strong foundation in science to unlock future opportunities. Past students have told me that I have the ability to take complex scientific concepts and break them down into manageable, understandable parts, I strive to make students feel supported and inspired. One of the most rewarding parts of my work is witnessing the pride and excitement students experience when they conquer challenging topics. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy traveling, exploring the night sky through my interest in astronomy, and taking long walks with my dogs.
