Currently, I am pursuing a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction with a Science focus at Kent State University.   My greatest memory from high school would have to be taking the opportunity to go on a three-week geology field study. It was the first time I was able to practice and experience science outside of the classroom and see and hike beautiful places while learning about their history and geology.   The opportunities available […]

I attended the University of Akron and earned my Bachelor’s degree in Integrated Mathematics Education, grades 7 through 12, with a minor in Mathematics.   My best high school memories revolve around playing softball and soccer, and weekend bonfires with friends.   The thing I love most about Bio-Med Science Academy is the supportive community here. The students and staff are very supportive of one another, and very creative. The staff cares for the students and everyone shares a common vision of education, which leads to empowering students to be […]

I earned a Bachelor’s degree in the field of Social Work from Brigham Young University, and a Master’s degree in Education from Chapman University.   My favorite memory of high school is being one of three drum majors for the marching band my senior year.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Education, grades 7 through12, and a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from Walsh University.   My greatest memory from high school is being part of the marching band and twirling on the color guard for two years.

I have Bachelor’s degrees in Chemistry, Physics and Biology from Cleveland State University. I’m currently working toward a Master of Arts in Teaching Science at Kent State University. (I cannot get enough science!)   Having attended a fairly traditional college-prep high school, my fondest memories of are not of the class content, but of the friendships I made.   What excites me about the Academy is the unique opportunities students have to explore scientific content by integrating other subjects and accessing our amazing resources to find meaningful, real-world applications of […]

I graduated Kent State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Integrated Social Studies.   Some of my favorite high school memories come from a project-based class in which we had to raise awareness about a cause in our community. It was based on the idea that we extract so much from our community that we must give back to it. That idea has been a part of my life ever since.   What excites me most about the Academy is how the school drives you to do what you do […]

I completed my education at Kent State University for both my Undergraduate and Graduate years. My Bachelor’s degree is in Speech Pathology and Audiology; my Master’s is in School Counseling.   My best memory from high school would have to be when I met the man who became my husband, but also the countless “friend memories” I have when thinking about Drama Club and Pep Club.   What excites me most about Bio-Med Science Academy is the chance to not only see students learn and grow, but to be able […]
