Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi, I'm Kimberly. I am currently pursuing a Medical Degree. Before medical school I taught middle and high school science. I have 8 years of experience teaching Chemistry, Biology and Forensic Science.
My classes are created to be both informative and interesting. Learning about forensic science in a class when I was young inspired me to study pathology. I love to share this passion with my students. My goal is to get kids excited about science and medicine.
