Introduction	I have a wonderful husband and two wonderful boys, both in high school. My first career was in business, specifically the accounting field. I did this from 1985 (Germany) until 2004 when I decided that this was not what made me happy. I went back to school to become a teacher. Teaching and continued learning are my favorite things to do. Science is my subject choice because I find it fascinating and so much fun! So, what better career than to teach science? I started teaching in 2006, first as a student-teacher and long-term substitute. Then I became a full-time science teacher for the 2007-2008 school year. Although it is a lot more than the 7:30 to 2:10 job that many believe (mine is more like 4:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m - just ask my family), I truly do love it! I also coach (more like manage) the high school bowling team and in the 2009-2010 school year started a junior high bowling club as well. I also have an after-school science club that includes Forensics (Oct. - Jan.), Rocketry (Feb. - Mar.). Hopefully vernal pools/invasive species, electricity and magnetism, and horticulture can be added.
