About me

Hi!

I am a high school science teacher about to start my 15th year in education. I will be teaching grade 9 physical science, AP Physics 1, and IB Physics. I have previously taught chemistry and mathematics at various levels.

I joined NISE as part of my Masters in STEM Education course through the American College of Education. I hope to reflect on my own teaching experience and learn ways I can improve my craft to help my students better learn. I look forward to all the feedback I will receive as I address each of the indicators.
