High
School:
I
attended
Brecksville-Broadview Hts. High
School,
near Cleveland, Ohio. Brecksville is a Division I
school in the Pioneer Conference. My
graduating class was approximately 250
students. I played basketball and softball in
high school. I was involved in many other
activities including French Club, Student Council,
and National Honor Society.
College
(Undergraduate):
I
attended
Marietta College
in Marietta, Ohio. It is a small Division III
school. The total enrollment is about 1,100
students. I majored in biology. I have a minor in
chemistry also. I considered going to med school
for a very short time, but realized that I had no
real interest in this. I decided that I definitely
wanted to teach high school. I followed course work
for comprehensive science. So, I also took some
geology courses. I played
softball all four years. We went to Regionals my
junior year. I played basketball 3 years. (I didn't
play my senior year while I was student teaching; I
did coach 8th grade girls basketball in Marietta.)
I also played a year of soccer when I was a
junior. College
(Graduate):
I am currently working on my Masters at
Miami University
in Oxford, Ohio. I took 3 courses this summer. The
first was a
Tropical Marine Ecology
Class
that went to the Bahamas. There is a lot of
information about this trip with many pictures on
the web. The other classes I took on campus at
Miami. One was Animal Behavior and one was
Internet Microbiology.
This home page was part of my course requirements
for Internet Microbiology. I have taken various
other graduate courses at Ohio
University,
Ohio
State,
and the Communicate Institute through Walsh
University. Family:
I have
two brothers and 1 sister. I am the
oldest. My sister, Jackie, is 22. She
graduated this year from Grove City College in
Pennsylvania with a degree in accounting. She
played basketball at Grove City. She is working in
Cleveland at a bank. My brother, Joe, is
20. He is a junior at Marietta College,
majoring in accounting. He plays lacrosse at
Marietta too. My brother, Jonathan, is
18. He graduated from high school this
June. He will be a freshman at Ohio State
this fall. He plans to study finance.
My parents, Jean and Joe, own their own
business. It is a wholesale bakery named
Becker's
Bake Shop.
They sell pizzelles, angel wings, and
biscotti.
