I received my transition-to-teaching certificate in 7-12 Science, in May of 2013. In December 2023 I graduated with my Masters of Education in STEM from UNK.

I have been teaching at Mullen High School since 2012. Prior to teaching at Mullen, I was a para-educator in Hyannis for two years. I have also coached junior high girls in volleyball, basketball, and track and High school volleyball for 6 years at Mullen High School.

EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY:

I feel that teaching young minds is a task that cannot be taken lightly. It is full of challenges, frustrations, and responsibilities. However, it is a task that is also full of excitement, wonder, and joy. I strongly believe that all children are capable of learning, if they have the proper motivation and direction from their teachers. As a teacher I need to aware of learning, motivation, behavior, and development theories in order to relate to my students and push them to reach their full potential. It is my duty to see that all my students are being motivated; this is only fair to the students. They deserve my time and full attention in regards to their education.

6th Science, 7th Science, 8th Science, Biology, Anatomy, Psychology, and Middle School Study Skills.
