Background
Katrina is helping to fill Indiana’s shortage of knowledgeable, qualified math and science teachers. Like the science teachers she looked up to as a student, she is convinced that experimentation and hands-on learning are instrumental in helping students grasp concepts and apply them to their lives.

She is equally committed to knowing each student on an individual level. “Teachers have a big impact on children in a community,” she says. I want to show my students that I honestly do care.”
