About The Teacher

     I am originally from Michigan.  My parents still live there in Davison, 
MI (near Flint).  Throughout my childhood my family moved quite a bit and I 
have lived in several places including Luxembourg, Europe, and Tokyo, 
Japan.  I graduated from Genessee Christian High School (in Burton MI) and 
attended Bethel College where I graduated with a degree in Mathematics and 
Physics Education.  I have since added a General Science certification to my 
teaching license.
     After graduation I managed the Nelson's Grill store in the Town and 
Country Shopping center.  After that store closed I subbed in Mishawaka and 
Penn districts as well as Marian High School.  I had an extended subbing job 
when I took the place of a Chemistry and Biology teacher at Marian High 
School while she was on maternity leave.  I teach at Sylvan Learning Center 
on Grape Rd during the summers.  This is my sixth year teaching Science at 
St. Joseph Grade School.

Mission For The Class

     My mission for this class is to help the students see how science is 
connected to everything else in life.  I want to show them how science 
controls and governs how everything works and I want them to think of ways 
to use science to make the world a better place to live.  I also want them 
to see how science points to the fact that there is a God.
     I hope to stretch students minds throughout this year!  It will be 
challenging, but it will also be fun!
