About Me

I received a BS in Marine Biology focusing on vertebrate zoology from Texas 
A&M University – Galveston (Go Aggies!) in 1996 and an MS in Conservation 
Biology from Antioch University New England in 2006.  I began teaching Living 
Environment at Chatham in 1999 in addition to Science Links and Science 
Research in the Classroom.  I currently teach both Living Environment and 
Environmental Science.

Having grown up in Spencertown and graduating from CHS, it's very exciting to 
be back, teaching in the same room I took Biology in so many years ago!  In 
addition to teaching, I am one of the co-advisors of the Ecology Club.  

Outside of school, I co-teach a Bio Methods lab class at Bard 
College as part of the MAT program and am part of their mentor teacher 
program.  I am also involved in science education research projects with 
the Cary Institute of Ecosystems Studies in Millbrook.
