Meet The Teacher Who Created: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repeat!

My name is Mallory Swafford. I graduated in 2014 from Southern Illinois University, Carbondale with a zoology degree. I worked in the field of zoology until 2018 when I decided to make the switch to education. I now am certified to teach first through sixth grades in general education. I am endorsed in middle grades science and I expect to finish my masters in high school biology this year. I love teaching science and am excited to work with the SubjectToClimate team! 

Meet The Teacher Who Created: Composting: A Treat for Mother Earth

My name is Angelique Hammack. I am a K-8 homeschool educator and CALTPA Multiple Subject Scorer. I received my MA in Education from California State University, San Marcos, in 2017. Over the years, I have worked in both General and Special Education settings. Education has always been a passion of mine, especially for those from underrepresented groups. I enjoy finding time to include a Hip-Hop-Fit or Zumba workout each day. I currently live in the Southern California region with my four children.
