         My Biography: 
        
       I obtained my degree of Biological Sciences from Rutgers University. After graduation,  I managed a microbiology lab in a manufacturing company. I then  went onto biomedical research,  testing clotting times of blood which helped to design a portable machine for patient delivery. After four years of medical research, I began teaching in the Long Branch District at the High School. 
     
          My journey began teaching HSPA math in 2000, I was a student facilitator at the Annex, and at the JMF preschool between the years of 2001-2003. In 2003, I obtained my master’s degree in Teaching at Monmouth University, and taught first grade at Morris Avenue school for four years from 2003-2007.
     
    For the past 17 at the New high school, I have taught regular and honors biology, Comparative Anatomy, ELL Biology and LBHS's new addition, Principles of BioMedical Science, a Project Lead the Way course (PLTW). What a great program!!  This will be my tenth year and they have totally revamped the curriculum to be more engaging. I'm so excited for this year's students.

    1.  Project Lead the Way- Principals in Biomedical Science - 

    In the Principles of Biomedical Science (PBS) class, students investigate concepts of biology and medicine as they explore health conditions including heart disease, sickle-cell disease, DNA mutations, and infectious diseases. This is the first class of the four (4) course program. The second class of the program is called Human Body Systems, the third is Medical Interventions, and the last class is called Biomedical Interventions.

    This project-based course uses projects and extended experiments as assessments with limited unit tests. The Project Lead The Way curriculum gives students a chance to apply what they know, identify a problem, find unique solutions, and lead their own learning, rather than be passive recipients of information in a question-and-answer, right-or-wrong learning environment.

    PLTW courses are aligned with Common Core State Standards in math and English Language Arts, Next Generation Science Standards, and other national and state standards.  Courses are designed to complement math and science courses offered by LBHS and in some instances, are used as the core curriculum. 
    When students understand how their education is relevant to their lives and future careers, they get excited, and that is why     PLTW students are successful.
