I love to teach!  I also really love to learn about new places, people, culture and ideas.  I began teaching firefighters and medics in the 1980s.  They are really just big kids that grew up and still play with firetrucks and ambulances!  I have been teaching in a Middle School setting for the last 11+ years and love every minute of it.  I started as a 6th Grade Science teacher and did this for 6 years. I then started teaching Robotics and Exploring Careers for 1 year and then moved to Guyana, South America for 3 years.  Upon returning to the United States, I taught Introduction to Applied Engineering for three years.  I am very excited to be able to teach robotics, design technology and WHEEL  and learn from my students.
