Hayden student
I didn't realize how much there was to learn about the ocean and marine life. I can really tell how strongly you feel about marine science and that's what makes you a great teacher. I learned a lot in this class.
Anne Marie student
I enjoyed having you as my teacher and you made me look at the ocean in not a scary, sandy place but a place full of life and interesting creatures. I love your passion for the ocean.
