My passion for science started early in life. I enjoyed a variety of subjects through high school, but in my junior and senior years I decided to double up in science to begin pursuing the subject seriously. I graduated from Franklin and Marshall College magna cum laude with a double major in Chemistry and Physics. After earning my Master's degree in Chemistry and Chemical Biology from Cornell University, I truly knew that my passion was to teach high school science. Although my focus has been on teaching Chemistry and Physics courses, I have also taught Biology, Introductory Advanced Placement Chemistry, and Introductory Organic Chemistry.
