Hello! My name is Nicole and I'm the 7th/8th Math and Science teacher. I graduated with my BA in Behavioral Science with an emphasis in family studies. This is my fifth year in education and I have taught in the high school setting as well as pre-k working with kids with autism as a BCBA. My favorite part about working in education is seeing the “ah ha” moment in the kids eyes when they grasp concepts. Seeing the growth in student’s academic and behavioral progress is what motivates me to continue to support students' success.
