This is my 13th year as a high school science teacher. I have previously taught Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Principles of Technology, but chemistry is my true love! I am very excited to be teaching Pre-AP Chemistry this year.
I graduated from Reed College in Portland, OR with a B.A. in chemistry. I studied nanotechnology for two years at Rice University under Professor Naomi Halas before I left to pursue my career in teaching. I have since completed my M.A. in Secondary Chemistry Education at the University of Texas at Austin. My master's research, completed under Professor Anthony Petrosino, focused on project-based learning and its application at the secondary level.
