ABOUT

Chemistry Education

As a chemistry educator, I have extensive experience designing:

• Regents Chemistry curriculum and pacing guides

• NYSSLS-aligned lessons and assessments

• Student-led laboratory investigations

• Regents-style cluster questions and exams

• Laboratory safety programs

• Scientific argumentation and CER activities

• Regents review resources and study guides

My goal is to move beyond traditional "cookbook" laboratories and provide students with opportunities to think and work like scientists by planning investigations, analyzing data, constructing explanations, and defending their conclusions with evidence.

Computer Science & Software Engineering

In addition to chemistry, I teach middle school software engineering using p5.js and creative coding. My computer science courses focus on helping students develop computational thinking skills through:

• Creative coding

• Game design

• Interactive media

• Problem solving

• Digital creativity

• Engineering design processes

I believe coding should be accessible, engaging, and fun while building skills that prepare students for future careers and opportunities.

Professional Learning & Leadership

I am committed to continuous improvement and educational innovation. My professional work includes:

• Developing curriculum and instructional resources for teachers

• Facilitating collaborative professional learning

• Participating in research-based STEM initiatives

• Implementing Ambitious Science Teaching practices

• Supporting student discourse and scientific argumentation

• Designing inquiry-driven laboratory experiences

I have also participated in STEM research programs focused on emerging technologies, data analysis, smart cities, urban systems, and community-centered engineering. These experiences help me bring authentic, real-world applications into the classroom.

Supporting Teachers

This website was created not only for students but also for educators.

Teachers will find resources designed to save time, strengthen instruction, and improve student outcomes, including:

• Lesson plans

• Laboratory activities

• Assessments

• Regents review materials

• Standards-aligned curriculum resources

• Classroom strategies

• Professional learning materials

• Technology integration ideas

My goal is to build a community where educators can access practical, classroom-ready resources while continuing to grow professionally.

Beyond the Classroom

Outside of teaching, I enjoy supporting student activities, coaching athletics, exploring STEM innovations, and developing opportunities that help students connect classroom learning to the world around them. I am passionate about expanding access to high-quality STEM experiences and helping students see themselves as future scientists, engineers, innovators, and leaders.
