I first became interested in science from my experiences as a student at
Oakland Mills Middle and High Schools. After high school graduation, I
majored in General Biology at the University of Maryland, College Park where
I recieved my Bachelors of Science in Life Sciences.
After I graduated from the University of Maryland, I took my first job as an
Instructor teaching weekend classes and summer camps at the Baltimore Zoo
(now the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore.) It was a great experience and I fell in
love with teaching science.
After a little over a year at the zoo, I knew I had to go back to school and
get my degree and certification to become a classroom science teacher. So I
entered Goucher College's Master of Arts in Teaching Program. After the two
year program, I graduated with my masters and my secondary science
certification.
I am so pleased to be teaching at Reservoir High School. Reservoir is truly
a great school and community. It is wonderful to be teaching in Howard
county where I started as a student so many years ago.

And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.' T S Eliot 'Little Gidding'

trail.' Ralph Waldo Emerson
