Experience
I have been teaching earth science and tutoring for 17 years. It's really rewarding to see my students gain confidence as we work through test taking strategies, how to read reference tables, and ways to pull apart questions. I also come up with songs and mnemonic devices to help remember key concepts.

Hobbies
I was a geologist for 15 years before becoming a teacher. I have traveled around the US and have hiked in many national parks. I also have rock climbed in Yosemite, The Tetons, Devils Tower, The Shawangunk mountains, to name a few. I have stories of being caught in tornadoes, getting cliffed, and seeing a deadly rattlesnake. These stories help make earth science more relevant.
