I am excited to be in my 13th year as an educator. From my beginnings in Duluth, Minnesota, my love for Science has grown. I earned my degree from the University of Minnesota Duluth. I earned my Master's from Saint Mary's University and earned my Physics license from Hamline University. I continue to take classes to re-energize my love for Science by learning new information. Implementing newly learned ideas in Chemistry and Physics, helps to motivate students. My Chemistry and Physics classes challenge students to implement critical thinking skills. Students identify areas of study, engineer procedures and evaluate design and results. Critical thinking skills elevate students learning in high school, post-secondary, and adult life. I look forward to offering these experiences to students every year.
