I am an instructor for the Biotechnology Teaching Laboratory.  After graduating with my BS in Biology from Stony Brook University in 2008, I enrolled in the MAT Biology program.  During the program I began teaching in the Biotechnology Teaching Laboratory and completed my student teaching in West Islip School District.  In the BTL, I work with current MAT students by training and mentoring them to become instructors in the lab.  I am also working to bring new and innovative activities to the labs to enhance the experience for the students.  During the summer, I am one of the instructors for the BioPREP and Biotechnology Summer Camp programs.

Outside of CESAME, I am an Adjunct Laboratory Instructor for Undergraduate Biology.  I am also a Zumba® Fitness and Turbo Kick® Instructor and am currently pursing my AFAA Group Fitness Certification.
