Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Science from Texas A&M University
Hi, I'm Teacher Kim! I have a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science, and over 10 years of experience in informal education. This includes teaching at the National Aquarium in Baltimore and Disney's Animal Kingdom. I hold certifications for “Jane Goodall's Roots & Shoots Compassionate Leadership through Service Learning” and “Project WILD”. I am also a Homeschooling mom!
I enjoy teaching children and seeing how they learn, be empowered, and succeed. My goal is to teach in a fun, patient, inclusive and positive environment. I believe that it is important to introduce environmental conservation at a young age in order to help empower the individual in protecting nature and our planet.
Outside the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring nature, yoga, traveling, dancing, and SCUBA Diving. Conservation and education are some of my passions, and the classroom is a great way for me to share that with you! I look forward to meeting you. See you in the classroom soon!Reviews
