Summary
I am currently a teacher for 7th Grade Science at Hamilton Middle School. I am a veteran of the United States Army and an alumni of Cy-Springs High School. These experiences taught me to be a leader in the classroom. Continuing from one civil duty to another, I hope to give back to the community that taught me everything I know. The world we live in is full of phenomena which all Science concepts are based on. My teaching philosophy is to educate students using inquiry-based learning. This will help my students be successful by allowing them to truly experience Science.
