Biography

I joined Menlo’s faculty in 1998 and since then have been teaching chemistry and biology in the Science Department. 

After receiving my BSc from Otago University in New Zealand, I traveled the world for two years before returning to New Zealand to complete a Diploma in Teaching at Auckland Teacher Training College. I then taught high school science for several years in public schools around New Zealand before immigrating to the USA in 1998.

In my spare time, when I am not chasing after my two daughters and cheering on the All Blacks or Arsenal football team, I can be found in the ancient history section of Kepler’s bookstore.
