Experience
My love of science began in childhood. I grew up on an organic farm, and science was part of our daily lives, from weather prediction to operating machinery. I completed both my undergraduate and graduate studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My bachelor's degree is in education with a teaching certification in chemistry. I have worked as a chemistry teacher in all levels of high school chemistry, including AP and IB courses. While teaching, I continued my own education through workshops, coursework, and research. I was part of the Teacher in Space Program and have worked with NASA in education and research programs. I love teaching and I love science. I have spent my life being inspired by and connecting these two passions. I enjoy the scientific process of gathering data, making connections, and developing and testing hypotheses. I want students to have the opportunity to build their own understanding of science through connecting knowledge and concepts. This is the kind of learning that will stay with them throughout their lives. I am available to tutor students in a variety of science and chemistry subjects, including AP-, IB-, and Honors-level Chemistry. Outside of science education, my interests include reading science, farming, and public speaking.
