Ellie Pell

I began my teaching career in restaurant management in Ithaca, New York. I moved to Boulder to help open a café downtown. I decided to get my master’s two years ago at the University of Northern Colorado and began teaching in the biology department, which is when I decided I would be a science teacher. I was a long-term substitute at Nevin Platt Middle School last year and taught both biology and forensics in the CU Summer of Discovery this past summer. I am entering the Friends Teacher Preparedness Program with the intent to teach middle school science. I have an undergraduate degree in exercise science and a master’s in biology.

In my spare time, I enjoy the local Boulder trails, frequent the public library, and am making my way through all the recipes on the New York Times Cooking app.
