I am an educator originally from Colorado, now residing in sunny Southern California. Why would you leave Colorado, you might ask? The answer is simple: My daughter was bitten by the acting bug, so here we are! My original training was as a scientist and I have degrees in cell and molecular biology, biochemistry, molecular virology and science education. I have worked for National Geographic and the USDA, which was very fun. Though research was super interesting, I prefer to interact with learners! My spare time is spent outdoors appreciating nature, throwing the Frisbee with my Blue Heeler, and playing card/board games with my family. I am excited to work with you!
