About The Teacher

Prior to becoming an educator, I was an industrial chemist for many years. I 
bring to the classroom my personal, "real-world" experiences and expertise 
to share with my students. I love school, both as a facilitator of learning 
and as a student myself. I have acquired an AAS in chemical technology, AS 
in environmental science, BA in chemistry with a minor in religious studies, 
a Masters in Secondary education, as well as a M.ed in leadership. I hope to 
instill an appreciation for science and its importance in our increasingly 
global and technologically-advanced society.

Mission For The Class

I believe that science is an interesting and exciting topic. By getting 
involved in your child's instruction, you can not only help your son or 
daughter to succeed, but you may also enjoy learning new material yourself! 
And why not? The more we know about the world around us, the more 
fascinating it becomes . . .

My goal is to create a classroom environment that will help your son or 
daughter
build a solid science vocabulary
gain a strong understanding of key scientific principles and topics
learn how to use mathematics to tackle scientific problems
find out about the latest technologies and use many of them to    
learn more about science and our world
see how science is related to all other disciplines
effectively prepare for standardized assessments
see science as worthwhile and meaningful
develop thinking skills and the ability to challenge assumptions, 
think creatively and solve real-life problems
have fun!!


Equipped with his five senses, man explores the universe 
around him and calls the adventure Science.
