Welcome to my classroom! I am excited to work with you and your child this school year! It is my goal to give your child the necessary skills to succeed in 8th grade science.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Secondary Education (focus on General Science and US History), and a Master's Degree in Cultural Anththropology. I spent 8 years in New York, with research travels to both California and Hawaii. While in Hawaii, I took part in a Permaculture Internship. While in New York, I worked as Faculty Support at the Omega Institute for Holistic Stuides.
I moved back to the coast in 2016 (where I grew up), and this will be my 7th year at Gulfport Central Middle School
