I'm a passionate and experienced middle school science teacher with a deep love for environmental education. I specialize in creating hands-on, engaging lessons that help students connect science to the world around them—especially through topics like sustainability and conservation. I'm particularly passionate about coastal conservation and enjoy finding ways to bring that into my teaching. Whether I’m in the classroom or outside exploring nature, I’m always looking for ways to inspire students to care for and protect our planet.

My books present information in a meaningful way that inspires curiosity, personal responsibility, and civic-mindedness.
