Name: Savannah Benally
Major: Secondary Teacher Education
Year in School: Master’s Program
Hometown: Shiprock, New Mexico
Ethnicity: Native American
After completing my Bachelor’s degree at New Mexico State University, I came to the University of Washington to continue studying biochemistry in the Molecular and Cellular Biology graduate program. As I pursued my degree, working with community organizations to engage middle school students in science motivated my interest to teach general science. Upon completing a master’s degree in science, I began a teacher’s education program to become a middle school science teacher. I am excited to work with middle school students in tribal schools to encourage their pursuit of STEM careers.
So glad to see Savannah and all her success. I hope others come to know her and her abilities.
