Love California Betta Society :)
My name is Gianne (JEE-ann). I am a high school Biology teacher living in San Francisco that loves to bring life into the classroom! I've always had a menagerie of plants and animals for as long as I can remember. Before becoming a teacher, I received my Masters in Biomedical Sciences studying host immune interactions with Mycobacterium tuberculosis at the University of California, San Francisco.

I am passionate about science, especially science education. It is because of my love of science that I got into keeping Nepenthes and breeding Bettas. I am grateful that I get to share my passion for living things with my students every day! 

​I also enjoy backpacking, cooking, yoga, weightlifting, cycling, and reading.

I am a proud member of the following associations:
  • Bay Area Carnivorous Plant Society
  • Southern California Carnivorous Plant Enthusiasts
  • International Carnivorous Plant Society
  • California Betta Society 
  • International Betta Congress
  • Bettas4All Forum
  • San Francisco Bay Area Killifish Association
  • San Francisco Aquarium Society
  • Sacramento Aquarium Society
  • Greater Seattle Aquarium Society
