About The Instructor:
I am a former 8th grade science teacher who taught for 13 years in Chapel Hill at McDougle Middle School. I love exploring and learning about the natural world from watching the behavior of tiny insects to understanding the ecological processes of mangrove forest. I am a life-long learner who feels it is my duty to educate others about nature’s genius in hopes of solving complex challenges that we all face.
