Ms. Stecher holds a Master of Arts degree in Bioethics. Her professional experience includes ten-plus years in clinical research.. It was during the pursuit of her graduate degree that she discovered her love of the classroom and the desire to teach. She prefers the Socratic method of instruction and enjoys helping students on their voyages of discovery. Outside the classroom, her interests include reading, traveling and, like most Floridians, a great afternoon on or near the water. Recently she has begun training to run a half marathon over the Labor Day week-end. She can be found on the Pinellas Trail most week-ends training for the run.
