Have you taught at other schools? If so, where?
Yes. I taught at Stonybrook University when I was a graduate student. But this is my first high school teaching experience.
What subject do you teach? What do you like about this subject?
I teach biology. I love biology because it helps me feel connected, not only to other people, but to all living things. I feel like it enhances my understanding of the world but also it contributes to my awe and wonder at how complex and beautiful all of the forms that are living on this world are and how important it is that we protect them.
What do you like to do outside of school? What hobbies do you have?
I love to cook and bake. I have a dog, Cleo, I love to play with my dog. I like to do crossword puzzles, I like to read, and I like to go to the ballet. I like to see New York City Ballet perform.

Yes. It is probably Serenade by George Balanchine.
What’s your favorite movie?
My favorite movie is probably Sabrina, the original, with Audry Hepburn.
Which borough do you live in?
