Hello All! I am Amy Lawson and I am so excited to be a part of the Kenan Fellows program!  I am looking forward to a fun filled year with lots of hard work, learning, exploring, and communicating.  I am an 8th grade Science and Social Studies teacher at Burgaw Middle School, as well as the Volleyball Coach and a Science Olympiad Coach. I have an awesome and supporting husband and 2 fantastic kids!

I can’t wait to start  working with my team on “Projects in the Genomics and Microbiology Lab!” I’m excited to be able to literally get my hands dirty and work in the lab. Each year I try to bring real life science to my students through labs, research, and building and doing in Science Olympiad.  This year I will be able to show them how I was doing real life science and how they can become a part of the science community!
