About The Teacher
I had the amazing opportunity to ride my bicycle across the country three summers ago (2007) from Seattle, WA to Washington D.C. for the American Lung Association! It took 48 days and we averaged about 85 miles/day. It was a life-changing experience. The most important things I learned were the importance of constantly challenging your mind and body - keeping active physically and mentally, and the need to slow down and see the beauty that surrounds you in everyday life. The past two summers I have worked as an instructor for Ecology Camp at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, NY. I also got to ride my bicycle across New York State from Niagara Falls to Saratoga. As you can tell, I kinda like riding my bike :) When I am not sharing the world of biology with others, I like to go hiking, cycling, take photographs, build furniture, or even do some quilting. Here at school, I am an advisor for the Hiking Club, Snowshoe Club, Recycling Club and Ski Club. I am also one of the head coaches for Spring Track. If you have not visited my classrooms yet (204 and 202), there are a few friendly critters awaiting a hello. My door is always open if you need help or just want to share a story. You just have to speak up!
