Summary

I am a highly passionate science teacher with 2 years of in-classroom experience teaching Standard Biology, IB Biology, Chemistry, and Interdisciplinary Science and Research (ISR). I have spent the last school year in a teacher preparation residency program, the Nashville Teacher Residency. The nature of this program has placed me one-on-one with a senior level 5 teacher whom I have worked closely with throughout the school year. Throughout my residency year, I have provided direct class instruction, uplifted students with fun and engaging activities, and reflected upon student data to drive changes in instruction.
