Hello,

Welcome to my webpage! 

I have been a teacher for the last 25 years.  I have taught Biology, Wildlife Ecology(Biology), Plants/Animals, Environmental Science, Ecology, and Ornithology at Warren County School District.  Other courses I have taught are Physical Science and Field Biology.  I have a Master's degree from Clarion University in Science Education, a Bachelor's degree in Biology from Lock Haven University, a Bachelor's degree in Secondary Education from Lock Haven University, and an Associate's degree in Wildlife Technology from the Pennsylvania State University. 

During my career, I have been awarded the Conservation Educator of the Year Award in Clarion County twice; received the Environmental Educator of the Year Award in Warren County; the Conservation Educator of the Year Award in Warren County; the Nature Educator Award from the Roger Tory Peterson Institute; and the Lock Haven University Distinguished Alumni Educator of the Year Award 2011. 

In April, 2009, Kelly Donaldson, of PBS, interviewed some of my students and filmed a segment in my classroom about the Trout in the Classroom project in which my classes are involved!  The segment aired on PBS in episode 4 of Greenlife Pennsylvania.

My classes are intensive and require consistent work.  I try to link my courses to relevant Pennsylvania topics, national issues and global concerns.  I also try to incorporate technology into my classes - suggestions are welcome.  My homework can be seen from the Home Access Center.  Major assignments may also be found on the calendar listed in this website.

I am easily accessible at school and return phone calls/emails ASAP.  My preparation period is 8th period if you need to contact me in person or by phone.  Don't hesitate to contact me with any concerns.
