Welcome to Anatomy for the 2019-2020 School Year!

This is an advanced course that is designed for those students wanting a deeper understanding of the structure and function of the human body. Focus will be at both micro and macro levels reviewing cellular functions, biochemical processes, tissue interactions, organ systems and the interaction of those systems as it relates to the human organism. Systems covered include integumentary, skeletal, muscular, respiratory, circulatory, digestive, excretory, reproductive immunological, nervous and endocrine.
About me
I am a 2000 graduate of WVU with a Bachelor of Science in Animal & Veterinary Science (Pre-Veterinarian). While at WVU I was a researcher dedicated to lowering the cost of farm feed for local farmers. I also worked at Laurel Caverns where I taught students from age 5-18 subjects such as Geology, Ecology, and Forestry. It was during this time that I decided not to pursue a career as a Veterinarian but to work in the field of research, as well as teach in the classroom. Sometimes a different calling finds us when we least expect it.
In 2010, I applied to FSU to complete my teaching license in General Science, Physical Science, and Biology and was accepted. Additionally I continued my farm research in the field of honeybees through FSU. My honeybee research includes producing queen bees locally which are resistant to mites, such as Varroa and Tracheal. Mites over the last thirty years have made raising honeybees a bit difficult and an expensive task, discouraging many farmers. Over two summers (2011, 2012) I introduced good genetics into the Marion County area. I also acted as a community resource speaking to different age groups from preschool to high school about my research and honeybees in general. At East Fairmont High School, I am the advisor for the Honey Beekeeping Club and we just received permission to have honey bee hives at the school!
After I obtained my teaching license in 2012, I accepted an internship at the NASA IV&V Educator Resource Center (ERC) where I taught Science, Engineering, Technology, and Mathematics (STEM) concepts to students from 5th-12th grade. It was a great trade! I had my own classroom teaching engineering, physics, and Earth & space science concepts, while FSU and NASA paid for my Masters in Education. After I obtained my M.Ed., I took a position at the NASA ERC full time where I continued to teach STEM to secondary students, train educator across WV on technology and how to use it in the classroom, and I took on other roles and partnerships in robotics education across WV.
In October of 2017, I decided to switch roles and take on a more traditional teaching role in the science classroom. I look forward to working with you this year while we learn about the human body!
