I am currently going into my 13^th year in education. I graduated from UNH with my Bachelor of Science in general biology in 2009, and then in 2013 I graduated from St. Joseph’s College of Maine with my Masters of Science in Education. I started out at Pittsfield Middle High School in Pittsfield NH as a per diem substitute and science specialist, then went on to Henry Wilson Memorial School for a year as a 1:1 paraprofessional, before landing my dream job as a science teacher at Pinkerton Academy in Derry, NH. I’m currently going into my 10^th year there the first 7 of which I taught freshman physical science and the last 3 junior chemistry. This coming school year I’m looking forward to taking what I have learned from RETE a truly putting it forward as I teach a brand new course in biotechnology that was completely designed based off my experience. I’m looking forward to the change and all of the challenges ahead. This is my 3^rd year participating in the RETE program. I have gained valuable experiences to help me intertwine the engineering processes into a high school chemistry course as well. I feel like we are all lifelong learners and I am constantly looking for way to improve my craft, and incorporate those “real world” experiences into my curriculum.
