However education can be stunted by rigid educational rules and regulation, which promote assessments scores over students actively learning more than concepts in the classroom. Learning is a process that teachers initiate but students execute. In order to prepare tomorrow’s leaders, teachers must be relevant and effective to ensure the potential for a bountiful harvest!

I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology and then a Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I also received my Ph.D. Degree in Physiology. These opportunities have allowed me to be a research fellow, teacher, minority liaison and consultant.

I taught Biology and Earth Science 9-10 for 3 years. During this tenure I was able to become Department Head, lead one-on-one technology trainings and restart the science fair at the school for grades 9-12. I learned a lot from my position and worked diligently with other teachers to ensure student success. Moreover I currently work as a contracted Education Consultant that delivers professional development and other evaluative measures for the schools.

I am in the process of starting a farm with my husband. We intend to start with a tunnel house then work our way into cattle. Also I enjoy writing and reading in my spare time. Lastly the majority of my free time is spent enjoying my son!
