    Mini Bio:  I'm originally from Tidewater, Virginia, lived in Guam and now Firestone, CO.  I have a son, Alexander, who graduated as a Spartan (yeah!!) and a daughter, Catherine, that attends Mead Middle.  Traveling is a passion of mine!  Every year Ms. Eastin, Librarian, and I take students to amazing places.  This spring break, 2023, we are traveling to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands and will soon be recruiting for a Mediterranean Trip Summer of 2024!  I've taught 5 years of college Geology and 16 years of high school science.  My favorite class to teach is Environmental Science.  My hope is to inspire students to further their studies in this growing field.

     TOP CAREERS IN EARTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL Sciences

    * Environmental Scientist: You can be involved in water and soil testing and remediation, assessment of sites for pollution types and amounts, clean-up of toxic chemicals from the water and/or soil.

    * Environmental Engineering: When technical solutions are required to resolve problems with environmental contamination or pollution, environmental engineers are often called upon to propose and implement those systems.   

    * Environmental Education: You can specialize in Middle Childhood or Secondary Education, bringing the Earth Sciences to children of a broad spectrum of ages. Teaching at the college/university level requires a Ph.D. at most institutions.

    *Petroleum Geology and Economic Geology: This involves searching for and helping to mine or exploit Earth’s resources, including ore minerals, oil, natural gas, and coal.

    * Soil Scientist: is a person who is qualified to evaluate and interpret soils and soil-related data for the purpose of understanding soil resources as they contribute to not only agricultural production, but as they affect environmental quality and as they are managed for protection of human health and the environment.

    * Environmental Law: With background in the earth sciences, you can go on to study and litigate various aspects of the impact of humans on the physical environment.
