Life Story
Here I am with my son Rick and daughter Laura. I'm the short
one in the middle!
Hi! Here's
a little bit about me. Raised in Georgia, I have also lived in New Mexico
and, for the last 25 years, in San Jose. This fall I am beginning my
eleventh year of teaching. Early in my work life, I taught biology,
chemistry, general science and human physiology for five years at the high
school level. During a 22-year hiatus, I worked as a technical writer/editor
and an environmental health and safety specialist in the high-tech and healthcare
industries, and raised two wonderful children. In 1998 I returned
to teaching, this time to science at Morrill. During my first five
years at Morrill, I have taught earth, physical and life science, focusing
on the latter. My formal education includes master’s degrees in biology
and public health. I am deeply concerned about human effects on the
environment and respect for others--
including our non-human fellow Earthings.
