Biology

About me!

This is my 17th year teaching, and my 12th year within the district.  I studied biology at Rutgers University and upon graduation, I gained employment with a fragrance house in Manhattan.  During that time, I obtained an MA in a very industry specific field called cosmetic chemistry.  Shortly after, I made the decision to leave the industry and become a teacher.  It was a decision that I took very seriously and one that I have rarely regretted!  I pull from my own corporate experience, as well as many other applicable fields. I have curently returned to school to earn my additional 30 credits (post MA). I take online graduate classes during the summer through the American Museum of Natural History, Seminars on Science. So far I have taken 3 courses: Evolution, Climate Change and  Genetics, Genomics and Genethics. These are excellent interactive classes designed  specifically to enhance scientific knowledge for educators and taught by scientists in each field.  This helps to keep me up to date as science continues to progress...  I am looking forward to getting to know all of my new students and to having another great year!
