As a dedicated educator with over 6 years of experience teaching science and social studies at both the middle and high school levels, I am passionate about inspiring students to explore the world around them through inquiry-based learning. With a Bachelor's degree in Secondary Education and a Master's degree in STEM Education, I am committed to integrating cutting-edge STEM practices into the classroom, ensuring that students are equipped with the 21st century skills they need for future success. My certification from the National Institute for STEM Education underscores this commitment, allowing me to effectively implement innovative teaching strategies. In addition to my teaching career, I have served as a high school Library Technical Assistant, where I fostered a love of reading and research among students.Beyond the classroom, I have also served my communities as a middle school basketball coach, middle school Lego League coach, and a middle school track coach, believing in the importance of teamwork, discipline, and personal growth. I have also volunteered as a baseball coach at the high school level. Whether in the classroom or on the field, I strive to create a positive and engaging environment where students can learn and grow.
