My name is Kacee Kukull. I live in Washington state with my wonderful husband and our fur children.

The last few years of my life have been spent working as a middle school teacher, trying to find ways to engage students in learning and spark their interest in science and engineering. On top of my traditional classroom responsibilities, I also coach our school’s FIRST Lego League team and run the Makerspace. Anything that our school does that is science related, you’ll find me playing a part in it somehow. I’m also heavily involved in our school’s AVID program, playing the role as co-coordinator for the last 4 years.

Because I clearly don’t have enough on my plate, I recently decided to go back to school to get my Masters in Molecular Biosciences. Getting my Masters will help me advance in my profession. While I love teaching, I don’t know if it will be my passion forever, which is why I chose to pursue a Masters in science instead of education. This gives me the freedom to jump back into various science-based careers if I want to. The decision to get my Masters is also what has led me to the creation of this blog. It’s purpose is to act as a portfolio for my COM561 course.

If you don’t find me working on school related things, then you’ll catch me reading or baking. My husband and I also spend a fair amount of our time building Lego sets or playing board games and video games.
