I have been teaching since 2015. It is a second career for myself. I have taught grades 4-12th. I am currently a High School Biological Science teacher. I currently teacher Honors Anatomy and Physiology, IB Sports, Exercise and Health Science, and Biology (various levels) Craig, my husband, also teachers. He has been teaching since 2018, also a second career for him. Craig teachers younger grades 5-6th mostly. He is currently a 6th grade science teacher.

We teach with a mix between traditional and progressive. We believe students work best when they are paired with their peers, however there is something important about being able to listen and take notes while something is being explained to them. We believe that every child has a unique learning style with strengths and areas for growth and we aim to fine tune those strengths while improving the areas for growth. We also believe that the best way to learn science is through connecting with the content and aim to use phenomena based learning within the classroom.
