Life & Career Milestones
My path in life has been direct
1.
Both of my parents were teachers.
2.
I enjoyed hearing their stories and watching them build lessons.
3.
I then had a great Environmental Science teacher in high school and he opened my eyes to science.
4.
When I headed off to college I enrolled in as many different science classes as I could.
5.
I found out that I really enjoyed sharing my science knowledge with friends.
6.
So, I decided why not have a job that allows me to share my knowledge.
7.
And figured, hey, why not be a science teacher...?
