Learn MoreMarine Biology has always been my passion and I loved to share that with anyone who would listen. I worked as a marine biologist for over 10 years, but I didn't get that fulfillment of truly passing on what I knew to someone who would love it and use it. So, I thought teaching might be the way to do that and here I am!
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI applied for a free trip to the aquarium complete with a class on marine mammals and I wound up winning it. It was priceless seeing the kids' faces when I told them about it! They were so happy. It made my day...my whole week actually.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would get some plankton sampling equipment for my marine science class to do a real plankton lab. I would also get some keys to identify the plankton and update our microscopes. I think the kids would really enjoy that. I would also get those VR goggles for the school that we tried to fundraise for but fell short of our goal.
