Looking for new active learning strategies? Want an observation consultation session? Curious about evolving teaching structures? I am your person!

What I Did

For sixteen years prior, I taught middle school science at a multi-age project-based public charter school in Ann Arbor, Michigan. There I specialized in developing thematic and authentic curriculum for a classroom with mixed grade levels, and I also coached our FIRST robotics team!

My undergraduate degree is in Chemical Engineering from the University of Michigan (1994-1998). I received a second bachelor’s degree in General Science and a minor in Mathematics at Eastern Michigan University (2004-2005). I graduated from the ELMAC program at the University of Michigan with a Master’s in Elementary Education with certification in Integrated Science (6-8th) and Mathematics. (2005-2006).
