Skills
My strongest skill is helping students understand Science in ways that connect with their lives. I use hands-on activities, clear explanations, and inquiry-based lessons to encourage curiosity. I also use assessment results to identify where students need help and adjust my teaching to support them.
I bring strong skills in classroom management, lesson planning, curriculum development, and technology integration. I work to create a safe, welcoming classroom where students feel comfortable asking questions and sharing ideas.
Beyond teaching, I enjoy mentoring students, coaching science competition teams, and guiding future teachers. My experience leading academic and STEM programs has strengthened my ability to organize, collaborate, and give constructive feedback. In each role, I focus on helping students and colleagues grow in confidence and reach their goals.
About
I am a Science teacher with more than 20 years of experience helping secondary students become curious, confident learners. I hold a master’s degree in Science Education and teaching licenses in Illinois and Maryland. I enjoy making Science meaningful through hands-on activities, real-world connections, and support that meets students where they are.
Beyond the classroom, I have led academic and STEM programs, mentored future teachers, and coached students in science quiz bees, robotics, and innovation competitions. What matters most to me is creating a learning environment where students feel valued, comfortable asking questions, and encouraged to discover what they can achieve.
