Biography

 

After careers in the printing and insurance industries, eleven years ago I discovered teaching as my true calling. 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 teaching earlier 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, and this has included student archaeological excavations whenever the opportunity presented itself. I am also a proponent of educational technology. I like to enhance my classroom with technology that leads to learning, such as a video microscope, a 3D scanner, and a 3D printer. My goal is to engage my students and keep them excited about school.
