I
am a 15-year veteran of teaching Science in the public
schools and currently teach Astronomy at North Medford
High School where I am the Planetarium Director. I became
enthralled with Astronomy when I saw the Aurora Borealis
at McDonald's Observatory in West Texas in 1989. The
sky turned blood red and it was considered to be one
of the lowest Latitude sightings of this phenomenon.
The wonder and curiosity that this event created in
my 8th grade students unbelievable. I have been hooked
on Astronomy and space exploration ever since. The Solar
System Ambassadors program will help me be a better
teacher of the topic I love!
