![]() ![]() In order to qualify to take the patent bar, you must have a degree in the hard sciences or engineering, so it seemed interesting. I came to law school with the intention of becoming a patent attorney. I graduated in 2012 and was the odd-man-out and went to law school after graduation. It has been a great three years and I am looking forward to many more! If anyone is looking for information about teaching, wants to share lesson ideas, or wants to borrow/steal some stuff from me just let me know! E-mail at and I will get back to you! Hopefully going to get back down to TCNJ over my Spring break in April and stop in to see anyone who is around! Should be Monday, April 21st if you are planning on being there! I am planning on returning to school in the fall for my Master’s Degree in Educational Administration to potentially become a department supervisor someday in the future. I am absolutely loving teaching still, although there are the ups and downs on any given day. ![]() It was a daunting task in the beginning because I had no idea how to use the system and wasn’t formally trained but a little inquisitive nature never hurts anyone and now it is easy!(most of the time!) We have 6 shows available so if anyone is up in the area and wants to see a pre-made show or just check out the stars then let me know! They refurbished it to a digital projection system in 2008 and I am currently the Director of the planetarium. Northern Highlands is in an affluent district and is lucky enough to have a Planetarium in use. This year I am teaching one section of General Physics, one fall and one spring section of Astronomy and 3 sections of Forensics! I definitely focus mostly on the physics aspects of the forensics class and try to avoid the biology parts but am currently doing Human Remains/Anthropology as my unit! Astronomy since then has been changed to a half-year course and I am still the sole teacher of it. *fingers crossed* Anyways, I started out teaching General Physics (low-level freshman physics) and three sections of full-year elective astronomy. I was just told by my supervisor that he is recommending me for tenure and that it then goes to the administration. ![]() After graduating in 2011 I started working at Northern Highlands Regional High School in Allendale, NJ as a Science Teacher and currently am in my third year. Well I guess it is about time I update everyone on my happenings. Ochoa’s email to update everyone, but I’m happy I finally got the time to do it! I can’t believe it took more than 2 months to finally respond to Dr. I’m getting close to finishing my second year teaching and absolutely love it. I also was given the opportunity to be the mentor and coach our Robotics Teams for the First Tech Challenge in NJ and have now completed two seasons with the team. The school has also given me great opportunities, I have taught general physics for 9th graders, Project Lead The Way – Principles of Engineering, and Robotics Classes. I was able to get my standard certificate through the alternate route process very easily in my first year. Of course I’ve always wanted to teach, so when I was offered a job to teach at LEAP Academy I had to take it. The company was a great place to work and gave me tons of opportunities. I got to review drawings for custom products, discuss the products specifications with our manufacturing sites, and finally price the products to our customers. After some time I also took over much of the sales engineering responsibility for my accounts as well. I was the account manager for our international OEM customers mainly in Israel and Canada. This was a great job which introduced me to many different things. After graduating in May 2010 and before teaching, I worked at Edmund Optics in Barrington for 2 years as their International OEM sales rep. I am happy to share that I am currently teaching at LEAP Academy University Charter School in Camden. Where do I find info on REU (research) sites?.What is an REU? How is it different from an internship?. ![]()
