My name is Ellie Kroeger, and I am so excited to be joining the Sauganash team! I have been teaching middle school science for 3 years in Pilsen. My favorite part of teaching is hearing all of the amazing science questions students ask. My goal is to support students in seeing themselves as scientists, and to provide them the tools to figure out how their world works. Before teaching, I graduated from Northwestern where I studied Neuroscience.
Outside of school, I spend a lot of time at the rock climbing gym, or working on my knitting projects. I also love snuggling with my two cats, Calvin and Rudy.
