Experience
I have tutored virtually as well as in person for high school chemistry and biology students, and also tutored people of all ages for chess. Teaching science is a passion of mine and I enjoy working 1-1 with students to optimize their understanding on a deep level from understanding scientific processes to overarching themes and concepts of biology and chemistry. Teaching/Education Experience: I directed the science program and taught as a High School Science Teacher for grades 9-12 in Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science, and Physics (2013-2016) at a local high school in Denver, CO. While directing the program, I was also a Master Teacher NSF Fellow for Physics Education at CU Boulder and conducted research on student connections between scientific concepts in the classroom to real world applications. Additionally, I have served as an Adjunct Professor at CU Denver in the Biology Department through the CU Succeed program for high school students, and later was a part-time Adjunct Professor with Arapahoe Community College for Biology for majors. Over the years, I have been a virtual K-12 Science Education Master Teacher Consultant for Renaissance Learning & UClass, an education start-up company, and have worked with the Downtown Denver and New England Aquariums in developing ocean curriculum.

Hobbies
I love cycling, hiking, and am a business owner of a successful women's health botanical medicine company (bridgetsbotanicalworld.com) where I do product formulation and health coaching. I love the outdoors and all kinds of science! I am have always been drawn to marine biology and health, and especially the mechanisms behind how things work, including global systems. I have a passion for teaching and helping students advance their science education, at any level. My goal is to inspire students to go beyond the classroom and excel at truly understanding and applying the science that they learn in school, to their everyday life.
