| Introduction | I am currently entering my second year as a Graduate Student at Montclair State University and working as a Graduate Assistant at the ADP Center for Teacher Preparation & Learning Technologies on campus. I was born and raised in North Jersey's "suburbal plain" with 1 younger sister and 1 younger brother. I graduated from the University of Delaware in 2003 with a BS in Wildlife Conservation, minor in Art and have worked for several nature centers and environmental groups since, including New Jersey Audubon Society, San Joaquin Outdoor Education, Skylands CLEAN, and Tenafly Nature Center. With a passion for nature and the environment, love of the outdoors and a strong desire to serve and work with children and provide a vehicle to change lives, I aspire to embark on a journey to learning in the realm of Earth Science with my future students. |
