Hello! I look forward to sharing the world with you!

I am an experienced online educator (over 5,000 classes!) and agricultural education teacher. I have lived in the China and 4 different states in the USA - experiences I will draw from in each class as we talk about professional development, agricultural topics, and cultural customs.

I know many students look for certain types of classes. If you do not see a course based on your learner's interests, please send me a note!

Course topics offered:
 - Life Skills
 - Animal Science
 - Plant Science
 - Floriculture
 - Food Science
 - Environmental Science
 - Leadership and Professional Development
 - Country-focused (learn about particular countries)

I have a passion for understanding how humans interact with the natural world, globally. I love to share that passion and my knowledge with students, as well as look forward to learning about where they come from.

Professionally, I have been a classroom teacher, worked in laboratories in China and the USA, was an intern at a nature center, taught classes online, and worked with volunteers for a national (USA) non-profit organization.

In my classroom, learning, fun, and passion are key. I like to encourage students to show what they know, so others in class may also learn from them. I strive to bring content to students that will be exciting as they learn more about the world around them. I am known for using props, funny faces, and real-world examples in my teaching. If you are able and have the materials, you might be able to do some activities or experiments with me!

Outside of teaching, I love to learn about different cultures (my whole house has an international theme), play with my pets (my family has many), explore off the beaten path, and spend time with friends and family. We have hosted exchange students from around the world and enjoyed sharing our cultures.

I look forward to meeting you in the classroom and having fun together!
