I am a Science teacher currently teaching 8th grade(in the past, Biology at the High School level)..my students use data from iNaturualist in the classroom so we very much appreciate everyone's contributions

I have a Bachelors in Science and minor in Science Education from UC Santa Barbara and a Master's in Education for GGSE at UCSB

I've owned and cared for a variety of animals in my life including a squirrel, iguana, bearded dragon, vieled chameleons, freshwater fishes, tortoise, turtles and a wonderful dog named Lucky

My research focuses have centered around intertidal invertebrates and fishes, global temperature change and its affect on diets of shore crabs(with obviously larger implications), and distracte vs. refocusing behavior as it pertains to "dynamic" classroom structures.
