I have been an IB Biology teacher for the last 6 years. Prior to that I trained as a cellular/molecular biologist studying the skin and hair responses to chemotherapies and the molecular mechanisms of mitosis. I earned my Ph.D in 2012 and completed 2 postdoctoral fellowships. I have chosen teaching as a profession because of the relationships I make with my students and the joy that comes from seeing them discover the same love for science that I have.
