Ms. Van Duyn is from Houston, Texas but grew up in upstate New York (Albany area). Her best classes were always science and so when she was in an unsatisfying job, she decided to go back to college at the age of 24 years old where she took science and math classes. While Ms. Van Duyn was doing that, she realized that teaching would probably be a good fit, but it has been so much more than that. Teaching has provided many opportunities that have changed her life and enriched it in ways she could not have expected. Ms. Van Duyn taught mostly in high school settings in Houston, but was in Denver this past year and taught 8th graders. Ms. Van Duyn is now in Utah to be near her sister and nieces and is looking forward to enjoying the wonder that is Utah! Ms. V brings with her a Bachelor's of Science in Biology with a minor in education from SUNY Albany.
