Michele joined the EWS family after teaching in Houston public schools since 2010. During that time she has taught science courses from sixth to twelfth grade and founded a girls’ science club called Discover Her-izons. Michele currently teaches Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Science. Outside of teaching, Michele loves to sew, bake, and travel. After college she had the opportunity to study Blue Head Wrasse in Dominica and she counts her favorite trip as traveling to the Galapagos Islands with her mom in 2009. She also thinks spending time with her husband and two kids is pretty fun.

Jon graduated from Texas Tech with a bachelor's degree in Finance where he also earned 28 elective credits in advanced science courses.
