I received my Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from Fordham University’s
School of Education in New York City. Immediately after graduation, I worked in a hospital’s biochemistry lab for two years. During that time, I attended
Hunter College to become endorsed in teaching. My first teaching position was at East Meadow High School on Long Island and I taught Algebra and
Geometry until 1968. I was retired until 1975 to raise my family and I have been working full time since then. We moved to Virginia in 1983 where I continued to teach Mathematics and Chemistry and become the Science
Department Chair until we moved to Richmond in 1992. While teaching at
Heritage HS in Lynchburg, I became very active in the Virginia Association of
Science Teachers (VAST). I started a Central Virginia regional group of VAST and went on to become the president of the state organization in 1990. I also complete my M.Ed. at Lynchburg College while living in Lynchburg.
My move to Richmond came about because of a new position I accepted at the state Department of Education. I was a Science Specialist at the DOE for 2 years and I worked mostly on the V-QUEST project. During my tenure at the DOE, I continued my education at UVA and in 1997 I earned an Ed.D in
Science Education. I took a position as the HS assistant in Goochland County in which I served for 4 years moving on to become the principal for another 2 years. I came to Longwood University and have been an assistant professor of science education for 4 years and have been recently made the Director of the Liberal Studies Program.
