I am a progressive education professional with over two decades of experience in both formal and informal educational settings. I've had the privilege of teaching every grade from Pre-K through 12, and while I’ve taught all subjects at one point or another, my true expertise lies in the sciences. My passion is creating nature-based, interdisciplinary learning experiences that foster curiosity and exploration, all with a strong commitment to equity.

As a child, I loved spending time outdoors with friends, exploring the world around me. That connection to nature has been a driving force in my life, and I’m dedicated to passing that love of the natural world on to today’s children. I believe in the power of hands-on, experiential learning to engage students in meaningful ways. Real-world experiences help them not only understand the content but also develop a deeper appreciation for learning itself. While I’m well-versed in a variety of teaching methods, I prefer to immerse students in activities that bring the natural world into the classroom, sparking their curiosity and wonder for science and the environment.
