I have been an educator for 20 years, both in the field and in the classroom. I believe in bringing relevance to education by working with the important topics of personal and environmental health, technology in education, brain research, and investigating connections through systems thinking. I am enthusiastic about exploring ways to bring science to life using both the natural world and the tools of technology. One of my favorite ways to integrate innovation with a reverence for nature is through Biomimicry. I incorporate this idea into my classes and I am a public speaker on the topic for schools, conferences and other community groups. I have spoken about Biomimicry to fellow educators at the California Academy of Sciences to a Youth in Science Convention in Bangkok Thailand. Specialties: Guiding and interpreting the natural world Integrating technology into the classroom (especially 1:1 iPad) Teaching high school life sciences (Environmental Science, Biology, Psychology) Speaking about Biomimicry
