I am passionate about Chemistry and hope students see that passion in the classroom. I differentiate instruction by implementing many activities and labs, so students can have hands-on experiments to investigate the properties of matter and draw conclusions. Implementing the new technology of Vernier that allows students to collect data on a laptop or device and get instant results is fascinating as we live in a constantly changing and evolving world.

Chemistry is everywhere in the world. I set high expectations in the classroom and take students to seek their highest critical order thinking through guided inquiry lab activities. Students are challenged to connect Chemistry to real-world examples by investigating items of their interest in projects. Like I always say, “Chemistry is everywhere in life.”
