I aspired to become a veterinarian. After struggling in my entry-level Chemistry and calculus classes but excelling in history, English, and Literature classes, I realized that my gifts were in these areas as opposed to science and higher math. I also realized that teaching was my calling after earning my teaching certification from UNC-Charlotte. However, I love science! Although I was initially certified in Biology, my first teaching position was teaching physical science. I LOVED IT! I taught myself physics and eventually earned my AP Physics 1 certification from College Board. It was the journey into physics that revealed my strengths in applying physics to Real World phenomena,I have taught physical science, physics, AP Physics 1, Algebra I, literature, and grammar. I have worked 1 to 1 teaching homebound students in science, and literature. My love of history makes me passionate about it as well! I read nonfiction American history as a hobby! I also have traveled extensively in the Lower 48 States with North Dakota, Oregon, Louisiana, Alaska, and Hawaii being the only states I have never visited. I earned my National Board for Professional Teaching certification in high school science with a concentration in physics. My love of physics is only paralleled by my love of reading. I believe that we are all lifelong learners!
