Biography

 

After careers in the printing and insurance industries, nine years ago I discovered teaching as my true calling after volunteering to help at my daughter's school led to an employment offer from the headmaster. I have not looked back and only wish I had found my way to it sooner in life.

 

My study of archaeology at the University of Florida, where I worked at several excavation sites in Florida and Ohio, guided me to the teaching of science and history. I like to employ hands-on projects in my classes whenever possible. This has included student archaeological excavations whenever the opportunity presents itself. I am also a big fan of educational technology and I like to enhance my classroom with cool "toys" such as a video microscope, telescopes, and a 3D printer that engage my students and keep them excited about school.
