Michelle Roy was born and raised in rural Kern County. Her passion for science was sparked in junior high and high school due to the inspiration of many creative and dedicated classroom teachers. This led to the pursuit of a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies at Loyola Marymount University with a minor in biology. After graduation, Michelle returned to Bakersfield and took a position as a classroom teacher while concurrently continuing her education. In 1992, she completed her Master of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction at CSUB.
Lifelong learning is a priority for Michelle. She holds a certificate from Project Wild, Project AIMS, and GEMS, as well as participating in the California Subject Matter Projects for both math and science. She is a trainer of teachers for the newly revised version of Step Up To Writing.
As a 27 year veteran of elementary education, Michelle is excited about the opportunity to bring hands-on science into classrooms and inspire students and teachers throughout Kern County.
