About: This is my third year at Inderkum HS and I look forward to working with the Natomas community of learners, parents and educators. I have been teaching for 15 years; 11 years at Castro Valley HS in Castro Valley. I have had the pleasure of teaching Freshman Science, College Prep Biology, Advanced Human Biology, Chemistry, AP Biology, and IB Biology. I believe that students should be able to inquire about science in their lives and I do my best to provide that opportunity to them.
