I have a wide range of teaching and research experiences that allow me to bring interdisciplinary curriculum alive in both math and science class rooms. As a teacher, I have experience working in traditional classrooms as well as being an outdoor educator, leading trips, designing OE curriculum, and also playing a supporting role as a teacher on outdoor adventures. I have been involved in working in upper elementary and middle school classrooms for more than ten years in a variety of different contexts. Further, I come from a long line of educators. My father taught English and my mother, Biology. My grandmother was a former English teacher and an avid gardener, whose interest in plants helped spawn my own. They taught me to value the pursuit of knowledge in all its ways, shapes, and forms. Finally, I am broadly trained as an ecologist and have research experience in population, conservation, community, ecosystems, and global change biology.
