Spreading the joys our planet has to offer us and introducing concepts of sustainability with the younger generation is one of her main goals. She likes to teach outdoors as often as possible! She loves animals, gardening, beekeeping, and chasing chickens.

She spent several years teaching in the classroom as a Nutty Scientists instructor before moving into the Operations Manager position. Creating memorable and exciting learning opportunities for all students is a passion of hers and she does so through her work with our summer camps and STEM Through Literature program.

Our “Nutty” Scientists are seriously qualified.
At Nutty Scientists® Southeast Michigan we take great care in selecting our program instructors (who play the part of our Nutty Scientists). These instructors have all completed an intense training program that walked them through each and every detail of our methodology and scientific programs.
Safety first, fun second.
We may be known for our wacky presentations, but we can assure you that the perceived chaos is 100 percent controlled. Our instructors are trained to orchestrate detailed experiments as integral parts of their presentation. What’s more, they know how to work with children, keeping their safety at the forefront.
We never overlook the responsibility that goes along with bringing our instructors into schools and other community meeting areas. From set up to clean up, our instructors are cognizant of every detail.
The only thing you and your kids need to think about is how amazing it is to be entertained and educated at the same time!
