I'm a passionate educator with a graduate degree from Arizona State University, a Bachelor of Science in Geology from Baylor University and over 20 years of experience in classroom instruction and tutoring. My greatest passion lies in the Earth and Space Sciences Geology, Astronomy, Meteorology, and Oceanographywhere I create supportive, curiosity-driven learning environments that inspire critical thinking. My diagnostic approach seeks to identify the root causes of academic challenges, allowing me to tailor instruction and provide practical success tips to diverse learning styles. Beyond subject mastery, I help students develop reliable study skills that transform learning from a struggle into an enjoyable, empowering process. Let me help you find more success in your learning!

Outside of tutoring, I enjoy being a lifelong learner in a variety of subjects which fuels my enthusiasm for teaching others. I have traveled extensively and have enjoyed the discovery of distance lands and different cultures. I also volunteer with a variety of charitable organizations. Some of my current hobbies include exploring the outdoors, prospecting, stargazing, gardening, reading and golfing.
