As an Idaho Falls native I am thrilled to be back to my old stomping grounds after seven years away. Four of those years were spent earning a Bachelor’s of Arts degree in Biology through Linfield College in McMinnville, Oregon, one semester of which was conducted in Avignon, France. I then moved up north to Moscow, Idaho where I researched the spread of antibiotic resistance in bacteria for my Master’s thesis. While I love studying science, I am also passionate about literature and mythology, and am enjoying this chance to build an appreciation for classical stories of the Greek pantheon with my students. _
