PhD, Dartmouth College
At Crossroads since 2017
Hello! My name is Dr. Jessica Day, and I am the fifth through eighth grade science teacher. I grew up in Northwestern Washington State and attained my bachelor’s degree in biochemistry from Occidental College. I then came out east to attend graduate school at Dartmouth College, where I recently finished my PhD in biochemistry. While a graduate student I mentored many students in the lab, including five high school students. I also received an NSF GK-12 fellowship that allowed me to spend one day a week teaching seventh grade science at Hanover’s Richmond Middle School. I was involved in various science related community outreach projects as well as volunteering here at Crossroads. Ultimately I realized teaching was my true passion. I look forward to spending the coming year doing all sorts of exciting science with the Middle School students!
