This is my first year teaching and a 1999 Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo graduate.  I am a little older, 28 turning 29 this summer but very young at heart.  I love teaching biology, however, I am searching for an all hands-on discovery learning environment for my students.  Academically they are challenged and need to learn through different modalities.  I have presented many laboratory exercises this year, however they still seem to struggle.  Therefore, this is my ultimate goal this summer.

Personally speaking, I am an avid music listener, collector, especially Duran Duran.  I have followed them for 18 years and it has become fun, pricey, exciting, enjoyable hobby.  I belong to an online community of fans and spend most of my free time dedicated to my collecting.  I also enjoy walking, hiking, biking, jogging and most outdoor related activities.  My favorite place in the world is New York City and I am thrilled to be spending time near there this summer.  Teachers, beware, be prepared to have your brain picked by a young eager-beaver biology teacher!
