  • Biography

    I am the Director of Authentic Science Research at Toms River HS North & Toms River HS South. I have been teaching for 26 years at HS South. I have taught Biology, Earth Science, and Authentic Science Research (since 2005). I now teach at 2 of the 3 public high schools in Toms River and just teach research. I am always seeking new things to learn to bring opportunities to my students. I partner with a school in Israel and my friend Dr. Pirchi Waxsman to run a Global STEM Wolbachia Project. Our students work virtually in groups of 4-5 and compare data they collect from mosquitoes on the prevalence of Wolbachia in the samples. Students creat a group PPT, & Poster to present to an international panel of scientists.
