High School Science Department Chair

Hello!  I categorize myself as a science teacher/professional.  Although teaching was not my career of choice, it appears that it was the career that was chosen for me.  My specific words going into and graduating college was, "I will never teach anyone's child"; however, I have been teaching on some level for about 25 years.  I have taught at-risk youth science to help them prepare for the General Educational Development (GED) test, middle school science, and science training courses for military personnel.  Currently, I teach high school and college level science courses.

I was first introduced to teaching by my junior high school biology teacher.  He would attend UC Berkeley every year for professional development, and he needed someone to sub for him.   I had just completed my undergraduate degree and was home job hunting, so he suggested I sub for him for a week.  That one week spent in the classroom made me change my mind, and I've been teaching ever since.
