My Project

Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity in my projects. I will have one class of anatomy and physiology students this year, and I am excited to once again teach such an engaging subject to a fantastic group of hard-working high school students at our school.

Hands-on dissections are the best way to apply the content learned in Anatomy.

Many of our students plan to become doctors, veterinarians, nurses, or healthcare workers, and this will be their first opportunity to experience the internal body systems up close and personal. Students will see firsthand the parts of the eye, heart, and brain, and culminate in a dissection of all the major systems of the body using a fetal pig. I am so excited for the school year to start!
