My name is Maria Zambuto and I am a sophomore at Stony Brook University.  I am a biology major and I plan to get my masters in education.  I aspire to one day become a secondary biology teacher and possibly even a college professor.  I have many hobbies, but some of my favorites are playing the piano, reading, and playing volleyball.  A passion of mine has always been to help others and I have particularly enjoyed working with children, both in and out of a school setting.  This passion and my interest in the sciences lead me to the career choice of being a biology teacher.  I will strive to get my students enthusiastic about science and interested in learning.  I have always enjoyed learning new things myself, and this portfolio helps showcase some of my work throughout my college career thus far.
