Learning is to be ongoing and fun! I have been so fortunate to attend two universities almost 15 years apart, each have been very different situations. The first was straight from high school, now, for my new opportunity at learning, it is online, I am married, have a mortgage, 3 kids, and a dog. School this round is much more challenging personally.
I originally was a Petroleum Engineer and after June 2021, I will have my Bachelors of Science in Secondary Education! Below are a few of the classes I have taken which have really enriched my background to become a successful STEM Teacher.
