This is my 8th year as a teacher at Riverside Middle School. I have previously taught 7th and 8th grade science and am one of the co-founders of the Riverside STEM Academy. Our STEM Academy is a personalized, project-based environment that focuses on STEM skills and takes the place of a student's English, science, and social studies classes.  I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Secondary Science Education from UW-Madison and a Master of Education degree in Curriculum & Instruction with an emphasis in STEM education through Penn State University. I also direct Camp Invention for the Watertown Unified School District.
