About
"The secret to happiness is continuous, small treats." -Unknown
I first realized my love of education and interpretation at the L.A. Zoo, when I started out in high school as a volunteer in their Education Department. (This may or may not have been reinforced through cuddling with lemurs and bottle-feeding baby antelope). I continued at the Zoo in the summers while I pursued my degree in Zoology at U.C. Davis, where I also tutored other students in subjects such as biology and math. 

Since then, I have served as a Naturalist, a middle school teacher, a high school biology and chemistry teacher and an elementary technology educator. For the past six years I have been working with teachers across California to design and develop engaging and exciting standards-based curriculum. I love collaborating with other educators and embracing the fun in learning!
