Welcome to Eighth Grade Science!  This will be my second year teaching as part of Milan’s eighth grade team, but it will be my twenty-second year teaching eighth grade science.  The first twenty years of my teaching career were spent at a small private school down the street from the University of Michigan where I earned my Bachelor’s of Science degree in 1998.  My graduate course work has concentrated on science education and has been done at various schools: Lawrence Tech, Michigan Tech, College of the Atlantic, University of Michigan, Eastern, and Montana State University.  When I am not teaching, I like to spend time with my puppy, Rosie. I also like to read, play tennis, garden, and bake. I look forward to spending this year sharing my love of science with the Class of 2024!
