I am very excited to be working with your student this year!  I have a diverse background.  I spent eight years in the Air Force and then went back to school to become a nurse.  I practiced nursing at an E.R. for five years in the state of California.  I am also a very busy mom.  I have three children, two dogs, and a cat.  When my family relocated to South Carolina, I was so happy to be able to complete my graduate degree in Middle School education with a science specific concentration.  I love science and am excited to be teaching your student the coolest subject in public school! This year we will be learning about the periodic table of elements, and basic chemistry, cells, the human body systems, genetics, and ecology.  All of these will be the most basic information for those topics.
