I am super excited to be teaching science here at Robertson! Science is awesome and I can only hope to inspire students to think similarly. Science is all about critical thinking and synthesizing information, important skills that we all need to master before graduating high school.

Our generation is facing monumental environmental concerns: global warming, deforestation, soil erosion...Protecting the environment for our children and our grandchildren has become paramount. I can only hope my students find some inspiration in saving the planet, and find those green jobs that probably have yet to be created.
