Who am I?
I'm the human behind Awkward Octopus Productions LLC. I'm on a mission to make science a verb in science classrooms everywhere!
Growing up on a family farm, I learned about nature from my father and developed a deep love for science.
But I didn't always have positive experiences with science education in school, and I know that many students aren't lucky enough to have those same experiences outside of the classroom. That's why I founded Awkward Octopus Productions -- to help teachers create meaningful and engaging science experiences for their students.

The Making Science A Verb™️ coaching program came into existance based on my own experiences as a science teacher. I was frustrated with school provided professional development that:
Didn't provide me with ongoing support
Didn't help me manage my time so I didn't get overwhelmed
Wasn't what I needed at the time--provided skills I already knew or I wasn't yet ready for
These experiences led me to create a program that:
Develops Courage:
Feel courageous enough to try new things even if you aren’t sure how it is going to work out.
Boosts Confidence:
Build skills and resources that help you bring your ideas to life in the classroom.
Prioritizes Self Care:
Learn to care for yourself so you can be your best teacher self and show up powerfully for your students.
Provides support from a personal champion:
Have someone cheering you on from the corner.
