I am an experienced educator with over eight years of expertise in teaching Biology and Environmental Science, and a strong background in non-traditional education and event management. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a Bachelor of Science in Event Management from Johnson & Wales University, and I am excited to share that I completed my Master’s in Natural Resources at Virginia Tech this past fall.

In my teaching career, I have consistently pushed the boundaries of traditional education by creating immersive and hands-on learning experiences. This innovative approach engages students and helps them grasp complex concepts through practical activities, such as monitoring the needs of an organism or simulating wildlife interactions in a game reserve.

My career also encompasses significant experience in program development and event management, where I have successfully organized and executed educational initiatives that resonate with diverse audiences. My skills in logistics, vendor management, and on-site execution ensure that I deliver impactful events that meet and exceed expectations.

I am a high school special education teacher at Patrick County High School in Stuart VA. I teach students in grades 8-12 that take the state alternate assessment in science and language arts. I am an active VA Master Gardener and love sharing my love of nature.
