ABOUT ME:
I was born and raised in the southern Spanish region of Andalucia (a town called Marbella) where the sun always shines and the food is unbeatable. I graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a B.S. in Zoology and worked in a fish farm and Marine Bio Lab for a couple of years before deciding to go into teaching.
I got my teaching degree in Secondary Science Ed. from Oxford University (U.K.) and taught in England for a few years. After that I moved back to the States and taught in a private boarding school in CT for three years. I have taught High School Biology, Chemistry Physics, Forensics, Biotechnology, Marine Biology and Spanish. I have also taught Middle School Science. For the last two years I've been on an extended maternity leave in the mountains of NC. I am currently getting a Masters of Science in Science Education through Montana State University.
