After receiving a book of science-themed stickers as a gift from her kindergarten teacher, Kelly declared at her kindergarten graduation, “When I grow up, I want to be a science teacher." Not only did she achieve that dream, she does it because it’s “SO FUN.” Kelly loves helping students explore their universe and understand the why behind things, and she knows that no matter what your passion is, you can find a way to connect it to chemistry. She has found a home teaching science at Bay because she enjoys the freedom to experiment, take unforeseen turns, and follow one’s curiosity.
