I have been a Brevard County educator for 20 years. I currently teach at West Melbourne School for Science. During the summers of 1997 through 1999, I participated in the Teacher Quest Program working for various companies at Kennedy Space Center. From those experiences, I was able to bring valuable STEM-related lessons and career knowledge back to my students. |
