I have been a professional educator since 1991. I have taught in CA, PA, HI, and TX. My credentials are in Secondary Mathematics, Computer Concepts, and Physics. This year will be my 4th year on the SMERT team in Engineering as well. Yahoo!
My B.S. was obtained at Westmont College in Santa Barbara as well as my teacher training program. I did masters work at UCI and Concordia University for my M.Ed. in Curriculum & Instruction with a minor in Educational Technology.
I love teaching but more importantly, I want to teach HOW TO LOVE LEARNING. Anything... learning is amazingly fun. I love to read about all the brain research being done. I listen to a lot of podcasts about science!
