Bio

I have over 16 yeas of experience teaching biology, project based learning, and entrepreneurship in both formal and informal settings.  My love for biology led me to study entomology and sustainable agriculture at McGill University where I concentrated on insect eating populations of the Peruvian rain forest.  After graduating, I taught high school sciences in Northern California at an outdoor experiential school and studied at the Teachers’ Institute at The Exploratorium in San Francisco. After getting my Masters in Teaching from BU, I worked at the BU School of Medicine’s CityLab where I taught biotechnology labs and developed curriculum at the state and national level. In addition, I spent two years working with the Art/Science Prize Boston, an after school entrepreneurship competition helping teams of students trying to solve real world problems with innovative tech solutions.
