I graduated from Manhattanville College in 2009 with a dual degree in both Biology and Secondary Education. My zest for knowledge and drive to become a 21^st century educator lead me to achieve my Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction in May of 2013. My hometown is Oxford, Connecticut and it was the experiences and personal relationships that I developed in the Oxford Public School System that inspired me to become a middle school teacher. I taught Earth Science, Physical Science, General Science and Biology in New York and Connecticut over the past ten years. I am excited to be teaching my third year of 8th grade science at Whisconier Middle School.
