My lifelong fascination with the beauty of the natural world, particularly within biology, fuels my passion for STEM education. As a proud graduate of the University of South Florida with a degree in Science Education , a certification in Biology 6-12, and the former President of the National Science Teaching Association (NSTA) chapter at USF, I have a strong foundation in both scientific knowledge and educational leadership. My experience running a successful STEM summer camp for a Hillsborough County charter school further solidified my commitment to hands-on learning. Founding STEM Seeds Academy is the culmination of this passion, a place where I can share the wonders of STEM, with a special emphasis on the living world, and empower the next generation of thinkers and innovators.

My passion for problem-solving and creative thinking led me to design and develop games. As a Computer Science student at the University of South Florida, I've spent the last two years tutoring elementary and middle school students, helping them strengthen their skills and build confidence in their abilities. I work to make sure complex topics are broken down into meaningful concepts students can understand so that they can be successful.
