Tanea is passionate about education, and loves teaching biology. She hopes to inspire students to think critically, to collaborate with others, and to argue from evidence. She strives to be culturally responsive in her teaching, and is continuously on a journey of contributing to education being a more inclusive and equitable space where all children thrive. With more than 17 years of teaching experience, Tanea has had the pleasure of teaching in public schools, international schools, and private schools, and I'm now working and living at Phillips Exeter Academy. Tanea earned a B.S. in Biology from California State University-East Bay, a master's in Secondary Education from Arizona State University, and a master's in Teaching Earth Science from Wright State University. She has previously served on the board of the American Modeling Teachers Association and led Biology modeling workshops and is currently a part of the HHMI Ambassador Academy, 20-23.
