A few tidbits about Ms. Hamerstadt....

I have been teaching for 10 years and all of those years have been at Wilson. I've taught science for 6 of those years and absolutely LOVE teaching science. I am so happy that I am a teacher! I grew up in Kansas with 5 sisters and one brother. One of my sisters lives in Seattle, another lives in Colorado, my brother lives in Arizona, and the rest of my family live in Kansas.

I went to Oklahoma University and then moved to Colorado where I worked in the oil and gas industry. I went back to school in Colorado to be a teacher. I've lived in Cincinnati for almost 15 years.

I have son, Mark, who is a Junior at Live Oaks, and a daughter, Kelsey, who is a Sophomore at Turpin. Another member of my family is Rex, a dog that we adopted from the SPCA a year ago. Rex had a difficult time adjusting to our family since he was very eager to eat any child, bicyclist, or runner who happened to pass by. After months of training, he is now the dog that we hoped for, well almost. I still tell people not to pet him just in case he decides that he is hungry! I love to backpack, hike, visit the Rocky Mountains, and read.
