Hello and welcome to my class! I hope you had an amazing summer and are ready for a productive school year. This is my 1st teaching. For the last 5 years, I have worked as a zookeeper across multiple facilities. I have worked with big cats, hippos, rhinos, giraffes, otters, primates, birds, and reptiles, to name a few. I graduated with my bachelor's degree in Environmental Science and Policy from the University of South Florida last summer.  Even though this is my first year in a classroom, I have taught education programs to PreK through 8th grade. I am looking forward to learning more about each one of my students as the year progresses. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns you may have. I check my email frequently. Let's make this year a great one, junior scientists!
