Hello, my name is Mrs. Shumate and I am very excited to get to know each and every one of you this school year. I love science and I hope you learn to love it as much as I do. I have taught Earth Science, Biology, and Oceanography at Ocean Lakes High School, where I coached field hockey for 5 years, and currently teach Biology and AP Biology at Cox High School. I am currently the SCA co-sponsor and enjoy seeing students succeed in and out of the classroom.
When I am not at school, I am enjoying my time at home with my husband, Ben. We enjoy the outdoors and walking on the beach together. I have a daughter named Cecilia and three sons named Jackson, Luca, and 2 4 legged pups named Ted E. Bear and Bella Luna. I am a native of Virginia Beach and attended Virginia Tech where in five years I earned a B.S. in Biology, B.S. in Geology, and a Master's in Science Curriculum and Instruction. While at VT, I played field hockey and learned the importance of being a well rounded individual. I encourage my students to be involved in and out of the classroom. I hope to inspire students to make a difference in the world.
