About Food Science Toolbox

I do the prep so you don’t have to.

If you’re a food science or consumer science teacher trying to juggle lesson planning, grading, and classroom chaos—without a background in chemistry or food science—you're in the right place.

Food Science Toolbox is your teaching shortcut.
Each week, I deliver classroom-ready tools and resources designed to make food science simple to teach and fun to learn. That means less time prepping—and more time actually teaching.

Why It Exists

Most middle and high school teachers weren’t trained in food science. But you’re expected to teach it anyway—clearly, accurately, and creatively. That’s tough, especially when time and support are limited.

Food Science Toolbox solves that.

I take the science, break it down, and build ready-to-go resources you can use immediately. No fluff. No scrambling. Just effective, high-impact tools that save you time and make you feel confident in the classroom.
