About me :)
Welcome to my website. I love science and will try, every day, to share that love with you all. I have been a teacher for 30 years (2 years in Virginia, 11 years in Maryland and 17 years here at MCHS). During my time in Illinois, I have taught physics, chemistry, earth systems, and now I am teaching all biology classes. I do my best to vary my instruction often to try to reach all learning styles. Lectures and notes will be given and mixed in with labs, projects, group work, ACT practice, videos and movies with practice writing assignments, and even cookie decorating and games.
I am also the club sponsor of T.R.O.U.P.E, which stands for Teens Resisting Our Universe's Problems Effectively. It is a club for students who are drug, alcohol, and tobacco free and who want to go the extra mile and share the message of making good choices with other students and adults. We get training and then use that training to offer programs to junior high kids and to the community. All are welcome to sign a contract and join the club!
