I have a Bachelor's Degree in Science and a Master of Arts in Teaching Secondary Science. I taught public high school science for 4 years and then I taught Biology 150 & 151 at Winthrop University for 4 years. Prior to getting my degrees, I was also a tutor for the athletic department at Winthrop and the LEAP program for students who are provisionally admitted to Winthrop.
After Winthrop, I began teaching at Fusion Global Academy in 2021 where I am a current teacher of science; I teach online at Fusion and love it so I am proficient at meeting with students online. Since I joined Fusion, I have taught the following classes, Biology, AP Biology, Environmental Science, AP Environmental Science, Earth Space Science, Chemistry, Veterinary Science, Marine Biology, Astronomy, Life Science, Physics, Zoology, Animal Behavior, and Anatomy & Physiology.
I am a reflective practitioner and I work to make my teaching and knowledge better every year. I just attended a professional meeting for a week in Atlanta, Georgia with the Knowles Teacher Initiative where I am a Senior Fellow. I attended a 3-day workshop on AI Essentials for Educators and gave a presentation on AI in the classroom to a wider audience on Thursday after the workshop. I am committed to helping students succeed and have the most experience with high school age students.
My methods for supporting students with content are to help them see the relevance of what they are learning and to help them learn techniques to study and understand what they are learning. I tell my students that all questions are good questions and that asking questions means you are thinking deeply about the subject. I work to not only help students learn content but also inspire them to see the potential in themselves.
I also have experience working with students with ADHD, autism, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, anxiety, and IEPs. I firmly believe everyone can learn and deserves the chance to learn and that practicing will improve learning and test scores.
