I am a high school teacher mainly covering Integrated Science and Chemistry. This is my seventh year of teaching. Before I came to Delaware I spent three years teaching on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota.

I have a deep interest in science, finding almost anything interesting. My main purpouse in attending this conference is to find good local information about climate change that I can incorperate into my 9th grade science class.

The other big thting that may be of interest to conference members is my background in the National Parks. I was a seasonal park ranger with the National Parks for seven years. During this time I worked at may parks all over the country. To this day I still am a park geek and hope to visit all the National Parks. I am curently at around 30%.
