“guiding learnings toward mastery and success

I have devoted my career to cultivating curiosity and critical thinking in students of all backgrounds, including Honors, AP honors, English Language Learners (ELL), and Neurodivergent learners. With 35 years of teaching experience, I’ve discovered that science is more than a collection of facts—it’s a dynamic process that empowers young minds to think independently and solve problems with confidence.

 

Specializing in life and physical sciences, I bring complex concepts to life through real-world examples, making learning both relatable and engaging. With a strong expertise in Chemistry, I have helped students achieve exceptional success by using structured techniques that guide them toward mastery. My strategies not only enhance understanding but also empower students, building their confidence in their abilities and fostering a deeper appreciation for science.

 

For me, the greatest reward is watching my students overcome challenges they once thought were impossible. My passion for education and dedication to student growth drive me every day. I strive to leave a lasting impact, inspiring generations of science learners.
