In 2009 I began working at the Science Center of Pinellas County (currently closed). I was the only Florida certified teacher staffed and had quickly been assigned to develop curriculum. One of those curriculums was for Forensics.

I had seen CSI shows here and there. Had no interest in crime-solving in particular. However, what fascinated me then and still does today is the different jobs that are under the umbrella of Forensic Science.

The curriculum that I created was first a 90-minute class, then a Full-Week Camp. One Summer, the Science Center had been partnered with Pinellas County Schools and I was the Lead to having 75 4th grade students rotate through 3 different labs per day for that week.

CSI was my baby.
It was the last curriculum that I taught at the Science Center, in the summer camp of 2016, when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter Hazel.
I started Philanthrolab Science Shop 6 months after she was born, October 2017.

For next school year, 2026/2027, I get to share 12 Crime Solving Science lessons with the homeschoolers of JMJLargo. Excited is an understatement of what it means to revive and return full-circle of what I have been capable of doing as an educator for the last 20 years.

The journey to developing curriculum after curriculum for 2 businesses has me always researching, planning, purchasing, and organizing.

Today is my daughter's 9th birthday. In 6 months, Philanthrolab Science Shop turns 9, too. What a great way to celebrate the first 10 years of inspiring a love of science! 🥽🥼💡🧪
