Description
After graduating from NSU with a Bachelors in Biology, I began my first Master’s Degree in 2007 with an online institution as a simultaneously taught Science courses at the high school level within Broward County Public Schools. I never thought I would end up teaching, but I was capable of getting accredited in the State of Florida due to my background and the “Alternative Teacher’s Certification Program”. I began teaching more like a hobby than anything else, and in that a passion flourished. I loved developing curriculum and exposing students to the plethora of opportunities that existed within STEM fields. I became specialized in my delivery of courses in 2009, when I attained a Professional Certification in the State of FL. Through it all I had pursued a Masters of Science in Psychology with a specialty in learning disabilities, as well as working towards my Masters in Education: Administration & Supervision degree to be certified in Educational Leadership. I managed to accomplish both degrees by 2011; at which time I began an internship in leadership in the school system, and served in a variety of leadership roles. These roles along with my successes in the classroom lead to being promoted to STEM Coach at another school in the District, where I now supervise Science Instructors and design curriculum to improve STEM exposure. I finished my final degree this past year (Human Anatomy), and have also had the pleasure of teaching College Nursing students while I serve in my current position.
