Teacher, Vineyard STEM

My name is Mary Timassy-Nelson and I have been an educator for 26 years at the elementary and middle school levels. In addition to teaching at the K-8 level, I have also taught college level courses for teachers. I have also been a MESA teacher for close to 10 years. To strengthen my STEM teaching skills, I participated in the Noyce Master Teacher Fellowship for math and science teachers through Cal Poly Pomona. Over the years I have presented at various conferences such as the CA STEAM Symposium, NABT National Conference, and the Noyce Master Teacher Fellowship Conference.
