What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue teaching biology in a student-centered environment where I can create hands-on learning experiences, differentiate instruction, collaborate with families and educators, and help students connect science to real life.

I'm a Biology Teacher with Gainesville City Schools, where I create engaging, student-centered learning environments, develop hands-on labs, differentiate instruction, and connect biology concepts to real life.

I've also supported students as a long-term and daily substitute teacher and as a Teaching Aide at Carrollton Upper Elementary School. Earlier, as General Manager at Sportsplex Health and Athletic Club, I managed budgets, training, schedules, employee reviews, and contract negotiations while coaching personnel and building personal relationships.
