I have made a career change to teaching after working 4 years as an organic chemist and 16 years in various business roles at research vendors. I decided to become a teacher after volunteering in an AP chemisstry classroom. For two years I subbed per Diem and long term. My most recent job was teaching 10th chemistry and 7th grade science at ISB in Beaverton SD. I admire [blah blah] about [school] and that is the reason I want to teach here. My real world experience equips me to help your science students thrive under the new next generation science standards and CC.
